I have a ThinkPad X61s.  Here is what I see when ath0 is up:

ath0@pci0:3:0:0:        class=0x020000 card=0x058a1014 chip=0x1014168c 
rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
     vendor     = 'Atheros Communications Inc.'
     device     = 'AR5212 Atheros AR5212 802.11abg wireless'
     class      = network
     subclass   = ethernet
     cap 01[40] = powerspec 2  supports D0 D3  current D0
     cap 05[50] = MSI supports 1 message
     cap 10[60] = PCI-Express 1 legacy endpoint
     cap 11[90] = MSI-X supports 1 message in map 0x10

After an ifconfig ath0 down:

ath0@pci0:3:0:0:        class=0x020000 card=0x058a1014 chip=0x1014168c 
rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
     vendor     = 'Atheros Communications Inc.'
     device     = 'AR5212 Atheros AR5212 802.11abg wireless'
     class      = network
     subclass   = ethernet
     cap 01[40] = powerspec 2  supports D0 D3  current D0
     cap 05[50] = MSI supports 1 message
     cap 10[60] = PCI-Express 1 legacy endpoint
     cap 11[90] = MSI-X supports 1 message in map 0x10


after hw.pci.do_power_nodriver="3"

ath0@pci0:3:0:0:        class=0x020000 card=0x058a1014 chip=0x1014168c 
rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
     vendor     = 'Atheros Communications Inc.'
     device     = 'AR5212 Atheros AR5212 802.11abg wireless'
     class      = network
     subclass   = ethernet
     cap 01[40] = powerspec 2  supports D0 D3  current D0
     cap 05[50] = MSI supports 1 message
     cap 10[60] = PCI-Express 1 legacy endpoint
     cap 11[90] = MSI-X supports 1 message in map 0x10

As for loaded modules:

[root@laptop ~]# kldstat | grep ath
