Hi,
I have a PC Engines APU board with a Compex WLE200NX miniPCI-e wifi card
running in hostap mode (11g).
root@apu:/var/log # dmesg | grep athn0
athn0 at pci4 dev 0 function 0 "Atheros AR9281" rev 0x01: apic 2 int 19
athn0: AR9280 rev 2 (2T2R), ROM rev 22, address xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
root@apu:/var/log # ifconfig athn0

It's rather unstable though:
root@apu:/var/log # zgrep "athn0: device" messages*

I also see constant increasing error counters (even if there's no traffic
visible via tcpdump):
root@apu:/var/log # netstat -i -I athn0 5
athn0 in athn0 out total in total out

Anyone else seeing this? Any idea how I could fix this?
Thanks.
