Comment (by anonymous):

 Using my previous snapshot (1390), I get the following when running
 modprobe ath_pci with no arguments:
 {{{

 After this, I run
 {{{

 iwconfig wifi0 rate 54M
 iwconfig ath0 essid NingNing
 iwconfig ath0 key beef15dead
 ifconfig ath0; ifconfig wifi0; iwconfig ath0; ifconfig wifi0
 }}}
 and get the following:

 As you can see, it does pick up a frequency automatically, and runs in
 802.11g mode.  I still cannot run iwpriv, though:
 {{{
