Hi guys,
I have been using RELENG_8 for a while and some time ago the wireless driver
started acting funny, by this I mean that for example in RELENG_8_0 the ath
driver radio switch works, I can connect AND stay connected with out a hitch.
In RELENG_8 it has progressively gone from good to bad to worse, at first the
radio on/off switch stopped working (it did change color but the driver never
really turned off the radio), then any wifi I connected to stopped responding
after about 5 minutes, I then need to restart wlan0 for it to reconnect
and give me 5 more minutes, now the wifi radio switch won't even change
color.
I thought maybe this was something temporary but just in case it's not and
nobody knows that this is going on I decided to send this mail.
