Hi,

One crucial piece of info missing is exactly which Atheros part you are using, can you please attach this to the PR? you can get this from pciconf -lv and look for the ath0, also please post your boot time
dmesg / or when you insert the part. thanks.

 I forgot to mention that I've applied this patch from Sam to my RELENG_7
 kernel:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.freebsd.stable/60383/match=cft+ath+hal+src I think, updating to Date: Thu Mar 12 03:09:11 2009
 New Revision: 189720
 URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/189720
as suggested will not change anything, or I'm wrong?

I didn't make many changes apart from fixups in a few files for the diff,
so if you're running with the updated HAL, then in theory an svn update/cvsup should make no change.
Of course the only way to be sure is to look under the hood.

I didn't see any issues with the backported HAL, and I don't really know enough about ath(4) to suggest any workarounds at this point other than reversing your application of the patch, and cvsupping to before the date the patch was MFCed, can we be absolutely sure that the regression you observe
happens with the new HAL?

Sam would know more, but of course one of the reasons I've taken this on is because a project I'm involved with needs working ath(4) on pci-e in 7.x, I don't know about chip specific problems
at this point in time, so I'm just as in the dark as you are!

thanks,
BMS
