Things I can think of: * There's some kind of noise going on that's angering the PHY (eg a spur); * We should be doing a cold reset instead of a warm reset, upon a channel change; (That fixes some issues I've seen on the AR9280 in some environments); * Bad/incorrectly hooked up antenans. >From a software side, nothing much can be going wrong. as long as the driver isn't doing something stupid like running multiple copies of the reset / setup path on different CPUs/threads, it should be reliable.
