Help with Ath0

[Tomas Randa]

I do the following:

New BOX with FreeBSD 5.3 BETA3 with I848P chipset and two Dlink DWL-G520
cards

ath0 at pci2:4:0:  class=0x020000 card=0x32031186 chip=0x0013168c rev=0x01
hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'Atheros Communications Inc.'
    device   = 'AR5213 802.11a/b/g Wireless Adapter'
    class    = network
    subclass = ethernet


ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xf9000000-0xf900ffff irq 22 at device 2.0 on
pci2
ath0: mac 5.6 phy 4.1 5ghz radio 1.7 2ghz radio 2.3
ath0: Ethernet address: 00:0d:88:81:86:13
ath0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps
ath0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps
24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps
ath1: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xf9010000-0xf901ffff irq 18 at device 4.0 on
pci2
ath1: mac 5.6 phy 4.1 5ghz radio 1.7 2ghz radio 2.3
ath1: Ethernet address: 00:0d:88:81:86:71
ath1: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps
ath1: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps
24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps

this is working good.

then I made a new kernel with drivers 
http://www.freebsd.org/~sam/net80211+ath-20040818.tgz

I must build kernel with make -k option, because normal make failed on
if_ray.

The system boot up succesfully. The card in 11b mode and hostap works
fine, second card in 11g works too, but after about 10 minutes system
freezes without any messages. On next reboot, after a while the same
thing.
Then I do ifconfig ath1 down - for 11g card and then everything was OK.

I have question: Is this possible with IRQ sharing with other cards in
BOX? I have 

rl0: <RealTek 8139 10/100BaseTX> port 0x9000-0x90ff mem
0xf9020000-0xf90200ff irq 18 at device 0.0 on pci2
xl0: <3Com 3c905B-TX Fast Etherlink XL> port 0x9400-0x947f mem
0xf9021000-0xf902107f irq 21 at device 1.0 on pci2
ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xf9000000-0xf900ffff irq 22 at device 2.0 on
pci2
ath1: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xf9010000-0xf901ffff irq 18 at device 4.0 on
pci2

but with drivers from 5.2.1 release everything works fine in this
configuration.

I have an other testing system - P200MMX with EUSSO GL2454VP card
(atheros 5213), I tested new drivers here and everything works fine on
distance of 2m between computer
The first box I am using for distance of 2.2 km.

Do you have any idea what to do? When you write me what to test, I will
do it


Thanks Tomas Randa
