    Any pointer on how to go about fixing it: what to look for, or even a
    driver to take as a model? I haven't had time yet to give the code more
    than a quick glance. From what I gathered looking around it seems someone
    is using PPPoE over at least wi, so this issue is probably in ath only,
    not in the generic 802.11 layer, right?

    Yes, and that was the first tool I used; however, I wanted to give the
    minimum amount of information sufficient to plainly see there IS some
    issue.
