Atheros AR5B22 WLAN+Bluetooth support on FreeBSD

[Adrian Chadd]

hi!

Ok, so there's two parts:

* loading in the firmware and/or bt nic setup (clock rate, etc) via
ath3kfw; and
* bluetooth coex/antenna setup in ath(4).

The latter I can do. The former may require USB stack debugging.

Which NIC is in the C720? Ar9485, right?
