Now I can "reliable" call a freeze or panic:
boot> boot -s
<...>
# cd /etc
# sh netstart ath0
# ^D
<...>
starting network...
<got it>
One of the panic (not from a GENERIC kernel (I tried 2: month-old and one
build a few hours ago), they still just freeze, and I have stopped
experiments now) is at the end of letter.
Also on madwifi.org I discovered that D-Link really changed chip in A4 or
A5 h/w revision (I have A6), from AR5212 to AR5213. Currently I'm trying
to find a replace for this card (AR5212-based at least)...
