Description Gennady Proskurin 2013-06-19 10:00:00 UTC
After upgrading to r251945 my ath card does not work.
Earlier revision r251541 worked.

Now it spams log and console and my kernel log with messages:

Earlier revision r251541 worked without any problem. Sometimes it wrote the following to kernel log:

ath0: ath_tx_should_swq_frame: f0:4f:7c:fc:b3:22: Node is asleep; sending mgmt (type=0, subtype=176)

But it seemed harmless, it just worked.

I reverted kernel and world to r251541 and card does not work. So, bug is not
caused by source changes.

It seems my card have "unstable" hardware, or something like that.
