.. and here's another example LOR, this time between the net80211 node lock and the ath lock, again during raw TX. This occurs because of an ioctl call through setmlme_dropsta(), which holds the node lock whilst it calls domlme(), which sends a management frame via IEEE80211_SEND_MGMT ->ic_raw_xmit->ath_raw_xmit(). Again, I'm not entirely sure how to fix this.
