Atheros AR9460 and Acer Aspire V17 Nitro on FreeBSD 11 not working

[Miguel Clara]

This the same card I have on a Acer S3 391 (which would be much
cheaper for you Adrian, in case anyone wants to buy you one with this
cards  sadly I don't have the money)

Anyway I see this issue but not always and there was a time where it
worked fine, (I've mailled about this before, and I'm not sure if
there's a PR) list scan seems to work but list only a few networks
(but I guess this means at some point scan got some results)
Also, If you know the netwroks detail you can at least add them to
wpa_supplicant.conf and it works fine for both 2.4 and 5Ghtz.
