Hello, miniqq.

Were you able to fix the situation with ath0: stuck beacon?

I have the same problem (FreeBSD 8.1-STABLE, Atheros AR2417/AR5007G) and recommended

# ifconfig wlan0 bintval <some value, eg 500>

does not work.

Thanks
 
ath0: stuck beacon....

According to groups.google.com.
Change channel value from 1 to 11.

Code:
wlans_ath0="wlan0"
create_args_wlan0="wlanmode hostap"
ifconfig_wlan0="inet 192.168.50.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid wifi mode 11g channel 11"

Then:

# shutdown now

Then:

<Enter>

Then:

# exit

I hope this help you (work for me)
