You should not need to rebuild w/ PREEMPTION. If there's a problem with ath I'd like to know so if you can tell me the steps you used to trigger the problem it'd be appreciated. As I said I'm aware of some issues with unloading if_ath and wlan & co as modules--there is a locking assertion that is not satisfied and dynamic references to the cipher modules (and also wlan_acl) are not tracked so it's possible to unload one module when another still has references to code+data. I've got fixes for all these things but haven't committed them yet. Sam
