Easy first: The docs in trunk and on the wiki disagree about setting the a/b/g mode. Is the config entry in in the 'wifi-device' section of '/etc/wireless' supposed to be named 'mode' or 'agmode'?
*EDIT* DOH! My mistake on the following, I had the wrong interface names in /etc/config/network. (Had wifi0 not ath0/1). There is still the question about the unrecognized ioctls though.
Now is this a bug or some deficiency in the Fon hardware? When using two SSIDs on the one radio, the wifi0 device is assigned the same address as ath0. This causes some nasty routing issues:
ifconfig:

There is also an issue with wifi up/down on this hardware. There are some private ioctls issued during wifi up/down that the hardware doesn't recognize:
