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: Jun 19 10:04:27 gpr kernel: ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 4) Jun 19 10:04:58 gpr last message repeated 101 times Jun 19 10:05:42 gpr last message repeated 143 times Jun 19 10:05:42 gpr kernel: ath0: ath_raw_xmit: sc_inreset_cnt > 0; bailing Jun 19 10:05:42 gpr kernel: ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 4) Jun 19 10:05:47 gpr last message repeated 11 times Jun 19 10:05:47 gpr kernel: ath0: ath_raw_xmit: sc_inreset_cnt > 0; bailing Jun 19 10:05:47 gpr kernel: ath0: ath_raw_xmit: sc_inreset_cnt > 0; bailing Jun 19 10:05:47 gpr kernel: ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 4) Jun 19 10:05:53 gpr last message repeated 19 times ..

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.
Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-bugs->freebsd-wireless Over to maintainer(s).
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. Corresponding thread in freebsd-wireless maillist: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-wireless/2013-June/003445.html
batch change: For bugs that match the following - Status Is In progress AND - Untouched since 2018-01-01. AND - Affects Base System OR Documentation DO: Reset to open status. Note: I did a quick pass but if you are getting this email it might be worthwhile to double check to see if this bug ought to be closed.
