ath/wpa_supplicant causes panic on BETA3?

Hi,

I seem to have problems with the ath driver: Firefox and Thunderbird 
some times coredumps and the system even panics at times.

I cannot determine which event causes these problems, however I have 
experienced no problems when connecting using the sis ethernet.

It could be a race condition occuring when these programs attempt to 
access the network and the ath/wpa_supplicant associates with the AP.

I have not experienced this with previous versions of FBSD, it appears 
to have come with upgrade to 6.0-BETA2 or BETA3. Posibly with the 
introduction of wpa_supplicant.

Can anyone confirm this?

Any hint to get some better debugging info will also be appreciated.

Thanks, Erik
