I am running a generic kernel with all the debugging knobs.
if I use BitTorrent or Gnutella in X the computer reboots after a few minutes.
>From the console it drops into the debugger deal. But will not give me
a crash dump.

Under the assumption that something was wrong with the ath driver I
tried to get the atheros card working with project evil and if_ndis.ko
built fine, but after I loaded it nothing happened (ndis0 did not show
up in ifconfig).

Rebuilding world from old sources (7/20/05) to try and go back to
before this showed up. This did not help.

Here are some juicy bits from dmesg, the whole dmesg is attached.
