"Hardware error, resetting" on Atheros AR9285

I updated from -HEAD and rebuilt the driver.  It looks good!  No errors! 

I never had powerd enabled.  I won't even try until you say it's ready.

What was the problem?  Do you still need me to open a bug report?

Thanks!
Rad

The driver loads fine but whenever I bring up an interface, I get "Hardware error, resetting" messages on the screen over and over again, roughly one a second. One user, Claude, reports he upgraded to -STABLE to no avail. I describe the problem in more detail in this thread: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=23297
