I still ran out sometimes during a reboot, so I upped it to 512 and added
a sysctl to show the max that active_bpages has been. Sometimes just
after a reboot active_bpages is low and other times higher, I have seen
140. A few times during a reboot I see timeouts, which only a reboot
seem to recover from. Can it be a left over config from the previous boot
that does not get cleaned out? Or maybe traffic being received while the
config is happening?
Here is an example during the boot:

The 2 other interfaces did not seem to have a problem and after a reboot
ath0/wlan0 was working fine again.
