Possible being an N chip its the newer ath9k which i had a similiar problem under linux, but finally after getting the ath9k module loaded i could see a card was there, then a simple ifconfig wlan0 up and iwconfig wlan0 power auto under linux got it live..... so id suspect something comparable to FreeBSD would work, provided theres a drive which i believe there is might also work for you
