I was (I think):

# ifconfig ath0
ath0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
         inet 66.80.0.4 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 66.80.0.15

Arggh!  Mea Culpa - I apologize for wasting your time like this.  (I 
hate it when people do this with my own code :-)  The code was a 
little out-of-date because it's running on a slow CPU, and 
recompiling the kernel on it (cross-compiling is not an option in 
this case) takes a long time.  But I'll try rebuilding a newer 
version now, and see if it fixes the "ath0: device timeout" problems.

         Ross.
