 I use wireless with this device:
 ath0: Atheros 5212 mem 0xcffe-0xcffe irq 16 at device 5.0 on pci0
 and very often (most of the times) 'ifconfig ath0 scan' hangs.
 
 First time I do scan it usually succeeds but the second and subsequent 
 runs of
 this command hang in 50+% of cases.
 
 It hangs equally when I am trying to run this command when network is 
 associated and running and down.
 
 Is this a bug in driver or what the problem might be?

Hello Yuri

try using ifconfig ath0 list scan

it will list the contents of the cache in the sip and never hangs

Sérgio,

This works but what if I need to update cache?
Cache update hangs.

As long as I understand, the chip updates the cache by its self..
so there is no need to deal with the worry about the chip...

see options bgscan of ifconfig


Hope this will help
