I'm sorry to have taken so long to get back to y'all.  It turns out I
was wrong about madwifi, it does work with this chipset.  Either I was
mistaken in thinking that the device had been untouched up to the
point I tried to load ath_pci, or a change in a 2.6.25.x point release
fixed it.  ath_info also works now.

>> ath_info does not work:
>> # ath_info df3f0000

It now says:

Since it works now with madwifi, I am attaching mmiotrace runs for
ath5k (latest compat-wireless driver, which still doesn't work) and
madwifi.  Please let me know if you still want to see traces for the
windows driver.  (The madwifi trace also includes a successful "iwlist
wlan0 scan" operation; the ath5k trace obviously does not.)
