I think it could be useful if you could provide clear instructions what you 
need exactly. 

Even if it was once in a while referenced that there are tools for debugging 
there are no instructions how to use them and it is already hard to find them 
and then when found there seems to be no readme and no help at all. 

So since we are forced to guess how to use them then we are probably forced to 
guess results too ...

I am also sure that the actual ath problems do have nothing to do with 
powersaving features because they appear also when this features are turned 
off on both, the ap and the stations(all).

the last modification regarding the mcast issue definitly made the driver 
better and more stable but still it stops transmitting from time to time 
without any usefull message and appearently it is related to some kind 
broadcast traffic. It is no question of quantity, for example I can run 
dhclient gain and again on one machine on the same network and I get an ath 
down and up event in messages what then sometimes causes tx to stop until I 
do manually ifconfig up. So since I am on my own here I simply block any kind 
of broadcast to the AP and the card stands.

But if you could tell me what you exactly need to find out what it is it would 
be easy for me to help because I have lots of this setups running.
