I have AR2413 cardbus device (D-Link DWL-G630):
ath0 at cardbus0 dev 0 function 0 “Atheros Communications, Inc., AR5001-0000-0000, Wireless LAN Reference Card”: irq 10
ath0: AR2413 7.8 phy 4.5 rf 5.6, FCC2A*, address 00:13:46:6e:a4:ef
The ath interface:
# ifconfig ath0 up
# ifconfig ath0
ath0: flags=8863 mtu 1500
lladdr 00:13:46:6e:a4:ef
media: IEEE802.11 autoselect (DS1 mode 11b)
status: no network

inet6 fe80::213:46ff:fe6e:a4ef%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x6
I can see 802.11b frames, and the cat get replies to probe requests, but association doesn’t work:
