 I don't see devid 0034 listed in the atheros driver code we are using:

 http://cgit.haiku-os.org/haiku/tree/src/add-
 ons/kernel/drivers/network/wlan/atheroswifi/dev/ath/ath_hal/ah_devid.h

 It seems FreeBSD doesn't yet support that chipset in their own driver:

 http://wiki.freebsd.org/dev/ath_hal%284%29/HardwareSupport

 I'm afraid you'll probably have to wait until support is added to FreeBSD
 and then we have updated our sources from them.
