The 8.1 HCL was probably correct when it was written. If you look at the man page it actually only supports AR5XXX chipsets.
The fact that it has attached to the ath driver (you have an ath0 device) shows that it is at least partly supported. Though reading this thread shows a similar level of support in 2.0.The 5MHz antenna would make it practically useless at 2.4MHz but I would still expect to be able to 'see' it if you're very close, antennas are not perfect.
