>Description:
the ath sysctls aren't documented. I'd expect them to be
listed and explained in the ath.4 manpage:
pc9649% sysctl -d hw.ath
hw.ath.dwell: Channel dwell time (ms) for AP/station scanning
hw.ath.calibrate: Chip calibration interval (secs)
hw.ath.outdoor: Enable/disable outdoor operation
hw.ath.countrycode: Country code
hw.ath.regdomain: Regulatory domain
hw.ath.debug: Enable/disable ath debugging output
Also, items lacking documentation on the driver:
* enabling tx-burst
* enabling hardware-compression
* setting tx-power
* connection between country-code and regdomain, and
where to take numbers for CC from (once it's setable...).
The Unicode UN Numeric-3 numbers seem to be useful there:

>How-To-Repeat:
Plug an ath card into a machine, and try to get it going.
Wonder how to change things like countrycode.
>Fix:
At least mention the sysctls in the manpage.
