It seems to me that you've done a lot more here than you had to ..
you should not have had to change anything in the kernel sources, with the
possible exception of adding the symlink I mentioned.
The purpose of the symlink was to allow the ath module to compile, and
should have no effect on any part of the kernel.

The Makefiles are subtle. In the Fall when I first started building this
I found that the symlink was necessary. Now (just tried with a fresh _stable
kernel), it is not. Since you didn't say what you were running I thought
perhaps you may have been running on an older _stable tag.
:)
All you should have needed to do here is -
1. untar ath-dragonfly-1.4.2.tar.gz into /tmp.
tar -C /tmp -zxf ath-dragonfly-1.4.2.tar.gz
2. build the driver
cd /tmp/ath-dragonfly-1.4.2; make
3. install the driver, the hal, and a rate module
cd src/sys/dev/netif/ath ; make install
cd ../ath_hal ; make install
cd ../ath_rate_sample ; make install
4. install the tools (this is optional)
cd ../../../tools; make install
At this point you'll want to try manually kldload'ing the modules (order
is important)
kldload ath_hal
kldload ath_rate
kldload if_ath
If one of these won't load (unresolved symbols) then you also need the
wlan module - I have 'device wlan' built into my kernel config, but
you should also be able to manually load it with -
kldload wlan
Once the modules are loaded you should be able to ifconfig and up the
interface.
Good luck :) :)
Andrew.
