ath (AR9280) with nanoBSD

[Sydney Meyer]

Hi Adrian,

awesome, it's working fine now.. Thanks a bunch for this hint, i have been rebuilding world and kernel a lot last few days and haven't been able to figure it out, eventually ripping all options out and building a stock image, which "seemingly" dind't work either, so thanks again.

Also, thank you very, very much for your ongoing work on all the FreeBSD Wireless Drivers you are working on.

Cheers..

Sydney
