I filed a PR, but I'm not sure how quickly we can solve the issue. Other than this driver issue, I'd prefer to use the STABLE branch. Is it possible to swap out the current ath driver for an older one? Could I still build it in the kernel? Besides this issue, everything seems to work fine. Thanks! Sincerely, -- Ned Ruggeri
