There is also AH_SUPPORT_XR which seems to be defined only in
madwifi-hal-testing. Did you check dmesg when you load the ath_pci
module? It should output a line like :

ath_hal: 0.9.30.13 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, AR5416, RF5111, RF5112,
RF2413, RF5413, RF2133)

Could you check if it contains the XR string? (mine does not).

Next step will be to switch to ath5k :-)

Benoit
