It's disappointing that we picked up an OpenBSD driver after Atheros
came around and started collaborating with open-source developers,
especially since AFAIR the OpenBSD driver did not support all of the
same devices as the previous driver did.

That being said, the 802.11 virtual AP architecture in FreeBSD *is*
unfortunate, but it's something that you could probably paper over.
