Atheros AR9285

[Brenden Blosser]

I now have tried -HEAD and I have if_ath & if_ath_pci loaded and I still see the error continue. And I also followed your post which you did in a forum post (http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=23594) but I ran `dmesg | grep "ath0"` and I found something in it from boot (Posted below).

I also installed FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE since my -STABLE install did not have ports or anything and was not able to get ports or anything via sysinstall since I was using a snapshot (as it seemed like). 

dmesg | grep "ath0":
ath0: <Atheros 9285> mem 0x90100000-0x9010ffff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci2
ath0: [ITHREAD]
