I just updated and so far it's working.  I had noticed dropped 
connections before by looking at my messages file.  It might take my a 
while to figure out if that's an antenna issue or an ath issue.  One 
issue is the "ath0: ath_edma_recv_proc_queue: handled npkts 0" spam 
issue.  Is that safe to comment out in the source and assume only you 
can really diagnose?
