>Description:
On a computer with >4GB ram, the ath driver will drop packets.  At >4GB, it can have intermittent dropped packets and high latencies.  The nic can go from 2ms ping times to 6000ms ping times in an instant.  Setting hw.physmem to hide the extra ram solves the issue.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try the ath driver on a system with >4GB.
