Subject:   ath(4) problems after sam_wifi merge

Hi,
I'm having some problems with ath after the sam_wifi branch merge.
Basically I have all the necessary modules loaded, but scanning is not
working well.

% kldstat | egrep wlan\|ath
 2    1 0xc097a000 12450    if_ath.ko
 3    3 0xc098d000 2ec38    ath_hal.ko
 4    8 0xc09bc000 2b65c    wlan.ko
 5    2 0xc09e8000 43e8     ath_rate.ko
20    1 0xc0af7000 4480     wlan_tkip.ko
21    1 0xc0afc000 2fec     wlan_wep.ko
22    1 0xc0aff000 7100     wlan_ccmp.ko
23    1 0xc0b07000 1920     wlan_scan_ap.ko
24    1 0xc0b09000 552c     wlan_scan_sta.ko

Is anything missing?

My card is:

After ifconfig ath0 up, the scan goes as:

ath0: scan_next: chan   1g ->   1g [active, dwell min 200 max 2000]
ath0: ieee80211_start_scan: active scan already in progress


For some reason it takes a long time to stop scanning on a channel and
when it stops, it doesn't advance to the next channel.

Any idea about what might be going on ?

Thanks.
