I was trying to pull the ath_hal module down from current myself, but I
wound up also needing newer code for ath, and then wlan, and then
net80211, and then I was still missing something. So I'm going to give
-current a whirl.

There's also a problem with the video when you close the lid with X
running. When reopened, everything is fine - mouse, etc. - except that
video has shifted down about an inch and a half on the screen, with
garbage appearing at the top of the screen. Restarting X fixes it. 

I'm hoping this won't also be a problem in -current, but has anyone seen
something like this before?
