Look at the channel busy statistics. YOur channel isn't busy at all. Oh, I am don't need utilise all bandwidth, typical use: ssh access to remote host and lot of web traffic. And narrow uplink (~2-5Mbit/s).

I need some more > information about that. Sometimes (may be one in 2-3 days) receiving packets on wlan0 stoped. May be intesive traffic increase probability. No messages in dmesg. tcpdump on wlan0 show only outgoing packets. Interface is UP. No automatic recovery. For manual recovery I am need to kldunload/kldolad if_ath_pci.
