Cool, but will this patch work against 6.0-RELEASE?

Hi
Is this card (DWL-G520 rev. b3 with the AR5213 chipset ) supported in 6.0 yet? Because it doesn't appear to be:
----------------------------------------------
pciconf -lv:
ath0@pci0:6:0: class=0x020000 card=0x3a131186 chip=0x0013168c rev=0x01
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Atheros Communications Inc.'
device = 'AR5213 802.11a/b/g Wireless Adapter'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
dmesg: ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xdffe0000-0xdffeffff irq 17 at device 6.0 on pci0 ath0: unable to attach hardware; HAL status 13 device_attach: ath0 attach returned 6
----------------------------------------------
If not, will it be sometime soon?
Also, the reason I bought this card was because ath(4) explicitly says that the DWL-G520 rev. b works in 5.4 and 6.0, which is a lie in the case of rev. b3, so someone should update this manpage. Of course, this was probably before D-LInk decided to upgrade this card's chipset to the AR5213 (the manpage thinks this card has the AR5212 chipset).
There's a hal out for test at www.freebsd.org/~sam; it should handle the part. See previous postings from me to current@.
