I'm running 5.3-STABLE as of last Wednesday and do not see this sysctl.

Please give version information (uname -a) when posting this kind of query,
as it's next to impossible to give useful advice otherwise.

You should be able to 'tcpdump -i ath0 -y ieee802_11' to verify that you
can capture 802.11 packets straight off the card.

I haven't experienced the problems with walls you mention.
