[Paulo Fragoso]

There is a problem with country code in DWL-AG530, you can solve setting 
country code, we can find instructions for this in:

http://madwifi.org/wiki/Compatibility

Our newest DWL-AG530 are working now on FreeBSD 5.4 and FreeBSD 6.0:

FreeBSD 5.4 before load contry code:
Jan  4 19:39:04 dl2 kernel: ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 
0xee000000-0xee00ffff irq 10 at device 8.0 on pci0
Jan  4 19:39:04 dl2 kernel: ath0: mac 5.9 phy 4.3 5ghz radio 3.6
Jan  4 19:39:04 dl2 kernel: ath0: unable to collect channel list from hal
Jan  4 19:39:04 dl2 kernel: device_attach: ath0 attach returned 22

After set country code:
Jan 11 15:10:19 dl2 kernel: ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 
0xee000000-0xee00ffff irq 10 at device 8.0 on pci0
