I left the Laptop online for quite some time (almost all day) but with no
user activiy.

I was just replying some email (as adrian might have noticed :) )and notice
the internet seemed a lot slower, and I'm back to the same reported state
in see the error messages:

and speedtest results are very poor:

I was also playing with the "Fn-F3" key was reported in the other thread
but I've done it earlier and saw no issues at the time.

I wonder then if this as something to do with long periods of inactivity
which as the first TSFOOR is ~22pm
Mar 21 21:55:10 r2d2 kernel: ath0: ath_intr: TSFOOR

Thats basicly ~the time I resumed the session, and by that I mean just
login back to lumina-DE - I did not use resume/suspend, as I was plaining
to be back sooner :)
