Ok I have some debug information. I have a machine set up as a
multimedia file server and as soon as I get 3 minutes into a video or
so, poof, the connection gets dropped. I stream over http but it happens
when I scp a file too.
I have a watchdog that checks the connection constantly and if pings
fail, it brings wlan0 down (rmmoding everything from ath9k to led_class)
and brings it back up again. It's a pain, but at least I can keep the
server up for weeks at a time that way.
With the attached log, the problems seems to start at 21:31:33 when I
get lots of problems I don't understand followed by lots of "receive
FIFO overrun interrupt" and then later more and more
"AR_INTR_SYNC_LOCAL_TIMEOUT". By 21:32:03, my watchdog has noticed no
pings are getting through and by 21:32:13 it has cycled the interface.
The log gets noticeably smaller then, as the http file transfer has
timed out.
the log is at
http://joseph.cheek.com/sites/default/files/ath9k.jun22.21.31+32.log_.bz2
and the hwinfo is at
http://joseph.cheek.com/sites/default/files/hwinfo.ath9k. I have a blog
entry with a little more info at http://joseph.cheek.com/node/7.
Let me know if you need more info or want me to file a kernel.org bug.
The kernel is today's wireless-testing git tree.
Thanks!

ok, today's git tip is significantly better! I get failed pings about
once every hour, down from several times an hour with the last stable
wireless-testing I could boot. I'll get a log with modprobe ath9k
debug=0xfffffffff and send the log again.
Thanks!

Joseph,
Not sure what exactly you are tring. However, if you happen to notice the XMIT
being stuck, then please try the patch titled "Fix TX hang issue with Atheros chipsets"
and "schedule aggregation regardless of queue depth" (sent to wireless-testing
mailing list and yet to be merged into tip)
Thanks

I will attempt to repro my xmit hangs bugs on today's wireless testing.
I haven't submitted a kernel.org bug on it, just mentioned it on the
ath9k list several times. I can submit a kernel.org bug for it tho,
assuming it repros (I've had it ever since Christmas, but who knows?).
