Thanks for you help, but I solved the problem. I checked the card, because the
Q&A says that I should also try claning the card and the PCI slots. I had a
look at the PCI card PINS and one looked very funny. I exchanged the card and
now it works fine:
ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xc4800000-0xc480ffff irq 15 at device 10.0 on pci0
ath0: Ethernet address: 00:0f:b5:82:07:c8
ath0: mac 7.9 phy 4.5 radio 5.6
Thx.
