After plumbing the device, "wificonfig -i ath0 scan" shows no networks 
(prints header line and no errors).  My AP is working (with windows) and 
there should be 4-5 APs in range.  The results are the same if the wifi 
button is pushed.  And of course, "wificonfig -i ath0 connect profile" 
fails with "wificonfig: failed to connect to essid 'profile'" (no other 
error messages).  This all worked fine for about a year before upgrading 
to S10 8/07.  dtracing entry and exit from every ath routine generates a 
large file quickly but I don't know enough about how the driver is 
suppose to work to get anything from the file.
