[ATH] 9.2-PRERELEASE and wlan0 device disconnection
Hi, I just upgraded to 9.2-PRERELEASE from 9.1-RELEASE, I have not had this problem before with any version of freebsd however. I have an ATHEROS card (AR928X according to pciconf), things go fine except every few minutes/hours (randomly) I get the following http://bpaste.net/show/123755/ type of error, and the network is no longer connected, however, beyond the fact that I can't even reach my router there's no obvious other sign, I.e ifconfig still shows a valid output with ip address etc as if it were still connected. Restarting the netif service fixes it, until it happens again - which it does in a short while (though sometimes I have to restart netif twice). As I said, this happened just as I upgraded from 9.1 to 9.2. Anyone have any idea what's causing this? -Tj Hariharan
