Hi.
I'm same problem here with ubiquiti srx express card.
When system boot with card plug in laptop the system intermittent freeze
with this dmesg output:
{{{

I use backtrack3 final, and I have resolved the problem in this way:
- blacklist ath_pci module.
- reboot with card plug in laptop.
- modprobe ath_pci.
- iwpriv ath0 mode 2.
When I do "ifconfig ath0 up" then system NO intermittent freeze.
When I'm online I take this error in dmesg, but the connection no go down.
{{{
wifi0: ath_rxorn_tasklet: Receive FIFO overrun; resetting.
}}}
I have tried also madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-r3752-20080706.
After reboot the situation is the same one.
