man ath(4)
The man page says "not fully", not "not supported at all".
I'll fix the man page :) Actually, there are several things going on wrt power. There is the 802.11 power save mode of operation where the station goes to sleep and wakes up in time to get a DTIM messages from the AP. And there are settings in the Atheros h/w that allow you to force the chip into a power saving mode between listening for beacons or otherwise automatically waking up to process frames. The former is not supported but many firmware-based cards do support it. The latter is what the manual page refers to.

Never has been supported under FreeBSD for any 802.11 card (at least not that I'm aware of).
Ah, didn't know that, since ifconfig claims that "shared" is a valid mode.
Valid yes. Supported no. Maybe soon.
