That won't make a difference, this is a bug in the atheroswifi driver. It's trying to write to a const data section here: https://grok.dragonflybsd.org/xref/freebsd/sys/dev/ath/ath_hal/ar5416/ar5416_reset.c?r=95ee2897&mo=89730&fi=2710#2756
adrian (one of the FreeBSD developers) indicated he'll work on fixing this in upstream FreeBSD.

aha! That's an old enough machine to really HAVE an AR9160 NIC installed in it.
Which physical wifi card do you have in it? I'd like to at least get a model number so I can add it to my list of hardware at home!
And yeah I know what the bug is, I'm going to need to finally implement what my comment circa 2011 says I need to do. :-)
