Hi,
I just compiled linux-next (next-20101207) which also includes
wireless-next-2.6 (master-2010-12-06) [1].
I have already reported on linux-wireless (short: l-w) ML that after
especially the merge of "AHB Bus support" patchset (see [2]) my ath5k
was not working as expected in daily use (also modinfo).
I am not sure if it is the driver but reverting the 9 commits in my
local linux-next GIT seemed to "stabilize" a bit the Internet
connection.
The patchset from Nick (see below) definitely helped to stabilize ath5k.
What means "daily use"?
Quassel IRC-client (around 20 channels), Iceweasel (Debian's answer to
firefox) with sometimes 20 tabs open and radio live-stream in VLC.
Here and there I have still audio-dropouts or when typing emails in
web-based email-service, it stalls when "stressing" with for example
parallelly creating a tarball (that's normally no huge workload) the
probability for audio-dropouts increases.
As I said I am not sure what is causing these hangs, it's ath5k
driver? Is it sth. else?
How to dig into it?
Unfortunately, modinfo does not list aliases with pci-id matching (I
have already reported to l-w ML, see below).
With reverting "AHB Bus support" patchset modinfo works as expected.
As a workaround I added ath5k to /etc/modules (see below), otherwise I
have to stop networking, unload + reload ath5k and start networking
again.
I also added an iw station dump (see below) and outputs of filtered
lspci and dmesg commands.
Not sure if this is helpful to mention, I use crda and wireless-regdb
(see below).
BTW, I have these two patches in addition to linux-next:
(+) OK mac80211-fix/mac80211-fix-a-compiler-warning.patch
(+) OK ath5k-fix/ath5k-Use-capabilities-information-for-the-number-of-TX-queues.patch
Any ideas/help appreciated, Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards,

I imagine that these are the "9 commits" you mean:

Most of those look fairly harmless so long as you don't define
CONFIG_ATHEROS_AR231X. Just to narrow things down...if you only revert
the first 8 (i.e. leave aeae4ac alone), do you still have problems?
Or does it still "stabilize"?
That patch converts the driver to the generic DMA API. It seems
OK at first glance, but I suspect it is the only one likely to be
effecting your situation.

Before jumping to another problem, I had a quick look into the
appropriate Kconfig file, as you say I have not CONFIG_ATHEROS_AR231X
set and that's why AHB support is not selected/built, instead
CC [M] drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/pci.o
is built.
Unfortunately, I can't cleanly revert. Sorry, I can't help.

I don't quite understand -- you said you were reverting them before,
but now I ask you to revert one _less_ patch (i.e. the last one to
be reverted anyway) and you can't do it?

After AHB-support patches went into linux-next (next-20101207), there
are now new ath5k patches touching
"drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/base.c" on top.
For example the patchset from Nick, this would mean revert them, too.
Doing so, won't give you a clear answer.
BTW, 0008 patch has a big change:
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/base.c | 344 +++++++++++++------------------
Another solution would be to take a previous linux-next where those
patches were not in.
As you say by yourself 0001..0008 do not hurt, it's 0009 patch (first
in patchset) you are speculating on.
As I have archived my "compiled" build-trees, I can look at them.
AFAICS linux-next (next-20101203) should have wireless-next-2.6
(master-2010-12-02) [1] included.
Also, I have to find the fitting linux-image binary and install it,
hope I have not purged it from hdd.

I tested with a linux-next (next-20101206) with revert-at5k-patches.
Unfortunately, Nick's patchset is needed for a stable WLAN connection,
several ReAssoc's etc.
So, I can't give a comment to the effects of the AHB patchset on my AR5212.
But... I have found the culprit patch which makes modinfo no more list
the aliases/pci-id (see [1]):
