Me too kind of response. There, I have ath and snd_hda sharing interrupt
on the Acer 945GM based laptop. I need to provoke the interrupt storm,
though. It starts after I do "ifconfig ath0 up; ifconfig ath0 list scan"
without configuring network. Doing "ifconfig ath0 down" stops the storm.
Otherwise (i.e., when associating with ap) interface works normally.
