Unfortunately the "stuck beacons" appeared again - not as much as in 
STABLE in the past but probably too much to ignore:

Dec 25 10:20:18 fs kernel: ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 4)
Dec 25 10:20:27 fs last message repeated 29 times
Dec 25 10:20:27 fs kernel: ath0: ath_raw_xmit: sc_inreset_cnt > 0; bailing
Dec 25 10:20:40 fs kernel: ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 4)
Dec 25 10:20:51 fs last message repeated 36 times
Dec 25 10:20:51 fs kernel: ath0: ath_raw_xmit: sc_inreset_cnt > 0; bailing

I've set hw.ath.debug=2147483647 but I'm not sure whether that makes 
sense. Which debug-infos can I provide to help to get this bug out of 
the way? Are there plans to backport the actual /ath back to CURRENT?

Additionally I ordered a D-Link DWA-547 [1] and hope not only to get rid 
of these stuck beacons but also to test 11n a little bit more.

Cheers - Martin
