doing a 'kldload if_ath' and it said "File already exists" so I
thought that meant it was loaded.. Just for fun I tried a 'ifconfig
ath0 up' but that just spit out "ifconfig: interface ath0 does not
exist" and now I'm really starting to get nervous :(

This card seems to have newer chipset and I heard the following patch supports newer chipsets:

http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?439E1030.1080304

However, I don't think this patch applies to 6.X.

Correct. The hal in cvs doesn't support the chip; only the one out for test. I've merged all the net80211-related changes but the ath patch is now out of date. I'll regenerate it and post a note when it's ready.
