I will try to recreate here with 3.0.0-rc7-wl, we can get more
information by ath9k debug=0xffffffff.
thanks.

I can try the bisect, but might take a while, since external 
activities(job). Seems this is just starting i.g. with
3.0.0-rc1 I never saw this, but with 3.0.0-rc7-00125-gf560f66
its making noise.

I am unable to get this problem in my AR5416 :( will also try
tomorrow. I am using the card for browsing etc.
recently there were patches for hardware code changes.
just a guess, please check does this patch helps(or is it already
there). i think this will be called via
ath_set_channel->ath9k_hw_reset->ath9k_hw_init_bb and may be
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/957902/

I am not seeing this in: ar5008_hw_init_bb
will apply this to the current Mainline when I get the chance and run 
the system to see if I get this firing off.
(as for what I have, and was doing:(OS fedora 15)simply streaming radio 
with clients running in the background twitter, facebook, thunderbird

alright, I applied the patch above, and have ran this a few days in 
various hotspots etc.. unfortunantly this patch does not fix the issue.
dmesg is below:
http://fpaste.org/ozCA/

from what I remember, I had all my clients doing their thing, then all 
of a sudden everything slowly started to crap out.

as for bisecting, I think this might take a while due to the 
inconsistancy of this(seems to show up every 4/5 boots etc..)but if I 
get some free time, I will have a try.
