I would agree, lately, I am seeing a bunch of these in my logs:

   ath: Failed to stop TX DMA in 100 msec after killing last frame

but my 802.11n 40MHz performance has been the best its been in 6 months ;-)

I have seen this message emited by the resulting OpenWRT package for my
Atheros AP83 based system.

I had been using a snapshot of OpenWRT from March 2010, which did not have
this problem. However
for any of the kernels I have tried, 2.6.32.27, 2.6.36, 2.6.37, all have
this error message.

In addition, when I use Station mode and associate two devices that are
running OpenWRT, I get incredibly
flaky iperf numbers, with packet losses going up to 10% on a 10 mbs stream.
Whereas when I use
a non-OpenWRT station, with an OpenWRT AP, I get almost no loss on the 10
mbs stream, and can
get up to 30-40 mbs with 'some loss'.

So, the question is, what has happened since last March with the linux
ath9k driver support?


What's the exact error?  I've see something similar in my dmesg:

   ath: Failed to stop TX DMA in 100 msec after killing last frame

However, I get great performance regardless. Able to pull 150 mbit/s actual
in a 2x2 MIMO configuration.
