Means module loaded correctly. No Errors here

Indicates the card is working and the firmware is loaded. Again, no
errors.

This shows that the modules are loaded and the associated dependencies.
Looks good.

Now we need the output of:

`ifconfig ath0`

Any details about the wireless access point to which you are trying to
connect would also help.
