dev.ath.0.rxantenna:?
dev.ath.0.diversity:?
dev.ath.0.tpscale:?

dev.ath.0.tpack:?

You have to (at least) set diversity=0 and txantenna and rxantenna to 1 or 2 (depends on which connector you have attached the pigtail).
For the others settings i thing the following are well.

tpscale=1
tpc=0
tpack=99
tpcts=99

If you have a long range point to point link (switch to 802.11b or 802.11a then) the most important values are acktimeout, ctstimeout and slottime. They depend on the distance between the two points.
