Hi!
So this is exactly what I needed!

Hi,
it is an 11n NIC, but 11n mode was not working on 8.x-RELEASE either. What I
am hoping for is that with 9.x-RELEASE 11n will work. We'll see.
It's this one here:
AR5418! (PCIe AR5416.)
ath0@pci0:2:0:0: class=0x028000 card=0x3a701186 chip=0x0024168c
rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
Something different, is it possible that with timer=i8254 the systemclock is
getting faster out of sync?
With 'sysctl dev.ath.0.debug=0x23' the debugging output is more verbose.
Here we go:

The last DWORD in this line is Tx.Status[9] (ds_status9 in ar5416desc.h)
.. and here, in ath_tx_stopdma(), the frame shows up as completed but
the error status is "excessive retries."
Now - it could be because the NIC isn't sending back an interrupt and
it always shows up as excessive retries. It could be that the NIC is
trying to transmit it but then the channel change comes along and
cancels the frame transmit immediately, leading to the aborted frame
showing up like this.
Are you able to update to -HEAD? Not only have I made some changes
with the AR5416 HAL and general TX handling, there's extra logging we
can enable to see fine grain timestamped descriptor information.
That'll tell us whether the hardware is trying to send the frame or
not.
Thanks a lot for your effort and help! But unfortunately updating to
HEAD is not an option for me, sorry at this point.
I guess there is no way in using only the ath driver from 8.x or HEAD
with 9.1? This very same nic was working at least with 8.x.

Kamil
