Hi,
Over the past 6 months or so I sometimes see warn on slowpath in dmesg
if I turn on my EeePC 900 (which uses ath5k) and it immediately connects
to AP. Here's an example of the warning from a recent kernel:
[ 13.010403] wlan0: deauthenticating from xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx by local choice (reason=3)
[ 13.016644] wlan0: authenticate with xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (try 1)

After a delay the machine goes on to the connect to the AP anyway so it
seems fairly harmless. Any ideas?
