how to debug ath ?

[dikshie]

hi,
any pointers how to debug ath device ?
my ath device is very strange.
with wpa auth my ath can only survice about 10 minutes after 10 minutes
my notebook become hang, i have to push it out and insert again, run
wpa_supplicant and dhclient again.
BUT if I turn off wpa auth in my wireless access point and run dhclient diretly
my ath card works normal.
by the way, I'm on non-acpi mode because acpi currently broken in my notebook.
(I'm using 7.0-current.)

my ath:
