At random, I get the following kernel error: Jun 20 23:19:34 strange kernel: ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 4) Jun 20 23:19:34 strange kernel: ath0: ath_reset: unable to reset hardware; hal status 3 Jun 20 23:21:57 strange kernel: ath0: device timeout Jun 20 23:21:58 strange kernel: ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 4) Jun 20 23:21:58 strange kernel: ath0: ath_reset: unable to reset hardware; hal status 3 Jun 20 23:22:12 strange kernel: ath0: device timeout Jun 20 23:22:13 strange kernel: ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 4) Jun 20 23:22:13 strange kernel: ath0: ath_reset: unable to reset hardware; hal status 3 Jun 20 23:22:27 strange kernel: ath0: device timeout Jun 20 23:22:28 strange kernel: ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 4) Jun 20 23:22:28 strange kernel: ath0: ath_reset: unable to reset hardware; hal status 3 After which either the ath interface stop functioning, I can login and reboot, or the system crashes and reboots, or the system just locks up completely and I need to reset it. I have this line in rc.conf: ifconfig_ath0="inet 10.0.0.1/24 ssid MyWifi mode 11g channel 6 mediaopt hostap" The error occurs at about any time, including 5 in the morning when there is no wireless traffic. I see no mention of this problem in the bug reports, but did find a post from 2005. However the suggested solution seems more like a workaround. Any clues how to solve this? Can neighbouring networks using the same or adjacent channels cause this?
