Pavel to the rescue again, it didn't like the command but did like
ath_info -w 0xe0000000 pci_class 0x200

Sadly enough the cards don't seem to support 802.11a and I was  
counting on the 11a support cause I run my 802.11a/g/n AP's on the  
5ghz band.

This still allows 54mb connections with my other Atheros based  
802.11a/b/g cards, just no connection with these cards.
