Atheros support no longer works on -CURRENT (kldload, possibly ACPI?)

    Hardware: IBM Thinkpad T40, IBM Atheros A/B card
    Software: -CURRENT as of 6/5/04, but older 5/25 kernel still shows problem

    Symptoms: I don't use it very frequently, so I kldload if_ath as necessary.
    Previously, it was load, config, and go, now...

    I see:
    pci0: Failed to set ACPI power state D3 on (null): AE_BAD_PARAMETER
    before the usual (and correct) ath0 status messages

    When I "up" the interface, I see:
    ath0: hardware error; resetting
    in a continuous parade scrolling up the screen

    I tried setting hw.ath.debug, but the dump scrolls off faster than I can see
    it. The system has no serial port to capture from...

    This could be an ACPI issue instead, but I don't see anything like this for
    the compiled-in set of drivers.
