hostap with atheros unusable on releng_6?



Hi
configuring an atheros card for hostap in releng_6 seems to be unusable at all
at this time.

The card is running fine and can be configured as wished but after some time
it stops working

ifconfig ath0 list stat do not show the client anymore
sometimes I see ath0 device timeout in messages

using 11g this problem appears after some minutes or sometimes after booting
the machine it do not communicate, in 11b it stays mostly 20-40 minutes
working, due to this problems I still had no time to look at 11a

it does not matter what additional configs I set on the card the radio simply
disappears, of course I tried another card to check, no change, I used the
newest DLink AG650, AG520 and AG530

running the whole ifconfig command again after ifconfig ath0 down brings it
back up for another similar period

changing the ath for a wi prism card using the exactly same configuration
everything works fine and stable
