FreeBSD 10.3 crashes with TL-WN851ND(AR9227)

I recently bought this PCI wireless card for my PC, the device shows up when I run ifconfig.

Code:
ifconfig ath0
ath0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 2290
   ether ec:08:6b:a0:3d:1c
   nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
   media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (autoselect)
   status: no carrier

dmesg | grep ath
ath0: <Atheros 9227> mem 0xf7c00000-0xf7c0ffff irq 19 at device 1.0 on pci3

freebsd-version
10.3-RELEASE-p5

When I try to restart networking(netif), the system crashes and during boot freezes causing it to crash and dump the core and log, to make it boot, I have to enter single user mode and comment out the entries.

I know there is an old thread Thread 38553, but thought the driver support would be there by now and when I came across this wiki I finally bought it, it is hard to find brands listed under ath(4) here.

My options are to wait till this is supported in the coming release, else install Debian on a partition. But would like to stick with FreeBSD, so any help or directions would help.
