freebsd stable - Mar 2005 - Atheros chip support in 4.11 & updated if_rl.c code location?

Has anyone performed an Atheros wireless port to 4.11.

I noted the ath chip is described in the 5.3 man page with a version date of
4.11.  Consequently I purchased two atheros wireless devices, and upgraded
my 4.8 boxes to 4.11.  Unfortunately there is no Atheros (if_ath) support in
4.11.  (My purchase decision was based on the 5.3 man page.  Silly me)

Also I've noted that the if_rl code has been updated and submitted for 5.4.
Can someone please point me to the incarnation to pull this code, so I can
install it on my 4.x series.   Unfortunately I've only ever used the RELEASE
code since 2.2.8, so I'm cvs ignorant.

Dewayne.

Backports of device drivers to FreeBSD 4 are, in general, very VERY unlikely 
(FreeBSD 4 is a dead-end branch now) and nontrivial to do due the massive 
differences between FreeBSD 5 and FreeBSD 4.
