I had some problem burning the media, but will try later for sure.
In the mean time, here is the relevant section of dmesg with
hw.ath.hal.debug in loader.conf (forgot to include it in previous
message):

Card works without problem in Windows XP/Ubuntu 10.10. On NetBSD I get
the same messages (unable to attach bla bla). It was the same on
OpenBSD before 4.8, now there are no messages in dmesg. It spits
something like device timeout when I 'ifconfig up' it though, but I
think card is working (haven't thoroughly tested it). I don't know how
similar code for ath(4) is between *BSD's.

All best
