Hi! It shouldn't be timing out at all. It's possible there's some antenna
config issues as the AR9462 IIRC is one of those 1x1 devices with an
antenna switch and bluetooth.
Can you do "ifconfig wlan0 list sta" and paste that and the above into a
problem report? I'll go find my AR9462 NICs and take a look.
Also, can you take a photo of the NIC itself, so I can make sure it lines
up with what I have in my box of Atheros parts?
Thanks!
