Smile [Resolved][FB7|wireless]Atheros 5213 cannot search AP

I added a new minipci wireless card of Atheros 5213 chipset in my laptop last week, then I make a new kernel which contains necessary entries related "ath" and "wlan", that's all according to the handbook. After finished these works my freebsd7-stable recognized this new minipci card.
But if I search for any ssid it will stop and no further response.
Could someone help me diagnostic how to resolve this problem?
Thanks a lot.

HTML Code:
# ifconfig ath0 up scan
HTML Code:
#dmesg | grep ath0
ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xfcfd0000-0xfcfdffff irq 9 at device 3.0 on pci1
ath0: [ITHREAD]
ath0: using obsoleted if_watchdog interface
