Comment (by bluse):
> However, what I don't really understand, is why ath9k would perform hw
resets on a running system? Is that normal behaviour?
Short answer: yes
Many Wifi chips are reseted under certain circumstances by their driver
core.. for instance if the chip hangs.. a watchdog routine will trigger a
hw reset. Just look at the the relevant ath9k code in main.c and mac.c to
understand which conditions trigger a hw reset.
> I haven't gotten around to test the provided patch yet, but it does
sound promising.
Please help with testing here and take the needed time, as this issues
seems to affect many OpenWRT & ath9k users.
