flooded with "ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 4)" after upgrade to 7.2-stable
After upgrading from FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE to FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE
I Get a gazillion of these :
kernel: ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 4)
in /var/log/messages
Mostly when all workstations are turned off. The messagestorm slows down after
the first workstation
has connected, but there are still a LOT of messages
The Hardware is exactly the same as before the upgrade. No change whatsoever.
I am uing the atheros card as a host AP and I have tried different settings
with ifconfig like -bgscan to no avail.
So please : how to stop these emssages ?
