Because the package revision looks older, I didn't try ath v0.7.2 yet, but I 
tried it this time.
It seems not to work unfortunately.

$ grep pci168c /etc/driver_aliases 
ath "pci168c,12"
ath "pci168c,13"
ath "pci168c,1014"
ath "pci168c,1a"
ath "pci168c,1b"
ath "pci168c,1c" << added..
ath "pci168c,24"

# ifconfig ath0 plumb
ifconfig: cannot open link "ath0": DLPI link does not exist << it seems not to 
work..

I tried the pre-installed one (REV=2008.03.22.10.56) before my post, but it 
didn't work either. 
(I added 'ath "pci168c,1c"' to /etc/driver_aliases by update_drv then tried 
"ifconfig ath0 plumb" at that time)

Is the current package for AR52xx, not AR242x after all?
