Dear maintainer: I have additional information, which I hope is helpful. I have three Wi-Fi to USB adapters that use the ath9k firmware, and all three suffer the "Message Too Long" failure with Debian 13.7 and linux 6.12.113. In addition, although I generally promptly reboot after encountering this problem, in a few cases the system has frozen within a few seconds or a few minutes of plugging in one of these adapters.
The adapters I tried: ThinkPenguin TPE-N150USB ThinkPenguin TPE-N150USBL ThinkPenguin TPE-NUSBDB The first two use the AR9721 chip set. The third is a rebranded Panasonic N5HBZ0000057. It is a bit more complicated than the others, using both AR7010 and AR9280 chip sets. Thank you
