Hi,

I've committed a fix to -HEAD which should fix the spurious bad
interrupt handling you were seeing.

I'd suggest updating to the latest -HEAD and trying it out.

Please note that power saving stuff in -HEAD for at least the AR5416
and later chips (AR9160, AR9220, AR9280, AR9285, AR2427) is known to
be busted. Please retry without powerd enabled to see if it's actually
a power saving related issue.
