New Atheros card: channel reset error [sorry for posting of not ready message]

[Adam K Kirchhoff]

I get similar errors, but only when trying to connect to a particular
wireless network (at work).  I can connect to the one I have at home,
and do not get any errors.  I have opened up a pr about it:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=131162

In my case, if I then remove the wireless card while the interface is
trying to acquire an IP address, the kernel panics.  Are you seeing
something similar?
