device id 0x29 is a 9280:

#define AR9280_DEVID_PCI        0x0029          /* AR9280 PCI Merlin */

(from ath/ath_hal/ah_devid.h).  Definitely works in HEAD.

As to supporting all cards the main chip not supported in HEAD at the
moment is the 9285.  I've been waiting for someone to send me one for >6
months and cannot add support w/o a device.  Of course others can do the
work too; I'm just scraping the crap out of the linux driver.
