Hi Everyone,

I am running a FreeBSD/amd64 30/12/2013 CURRENT Snapshot on a Soekris 6501 with :

options ATH_ENABLED_11N
options mptable           # (soekris 6501 requires it) 

and I get the following messages and failures : 

ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 0)
ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 0)
ath1: ath_edma_rxbuf_alloc: nothing on rxbuf?!
ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 0)

ath1: ath_edma_rxbuf_alloc: nothing on rxbuf?!

ath1: ath_edma_rxfifo_alloc: Q1: alloc failed: i=0, nbufs=128?
ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 4)
ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 0)

The machine I am using has 2 AR9550 MiniPCIe Cards

ath0
ath1


But traffic using iperf was generated on ath0 and ath1

Here is the pciconf -lv
