I just tested the newest code on a box running -stable from 22nd January 2011. My NIC is AR2427. The driver attaches to it just fine, wpa_supplicant and dhclient work. But the card is extremely instable, losing signal after 30 seconds at the latest. The following message is printed on the terminal: ath0: bb hang detected (0x80), resetting Sometimes, this reset seems successful and network connectivity comes back. In most cases though, I need to power-cycle the NIC and re-run wpa_supplicant and dhclient. Since I had not discovered yet that ath can be built as a separate module, I transplanted dev/ath and modules/ath into the main source tree. I also had to adjust sys/conf/files and sys/net80211/ieee80211_var.h, adding two missing fields in the latter. - Bartosz
