I saw that DragonFly switched the USB stack and I did not change the
configuration. So I should have installed the new USB stack.

The WLAN card is a TPLink PCI card, so I expect not to run any USB
driver here to get this card working.

The ath driver seems to be loaded. Some details are shown in the dmesg
output. These lines are added below

Thanks for your ideas.
