You may also need firmware for athn(4). It would be helpful if you could post the output of dmesg.

DIAGNOSTICS
athn0: device timeout A frame dispatched to the hardware for
transmission did not complete in time. The driver will reset the
hardware. This should not happen.

athn0: radio is disabled by hardware switch The radio transmitter is off
and thus no packet can go out. The driver will reset the hardware. Make
sure the laptop radio switch is on.

athn0: radio switch turned off The radio switch has been turned off
while the interface was up and running. The driver will turn the
interface down.

athn0: error N, could not read firmware ... For some reason, the driver
was unable to read the firmware file from the filesystem. The file might
be missing or corrupted.
