Sorry for being late, but I'm having some problem with your latest patch 
and ath(4). Just to check that I haven't missed something basic this is 
what I did:

1. Downloaded a fresh copy of Preview
2. In /usr/src did patch -p0 < /tmp/802_11.diff3
3. Made world and kernel and all that
4. Reboot
5. Extracted ath.tbz in /tmp
6. in /tmp/ath did make
7. kldload ath_hal
8. kldload ath_rate
9. kldload if_ath (which panics the system)

I've tried without ACPI to no avail, and it's 100% reproducable. I've 
put a photo of the panic at www.itstud.chalmers.se/~eriwik/ath along 
with a verbose dmesg. If there is anything else you need just ask and 
I'll try to produce it.
