[Fwd: re: ath0 lost connection]

 Hi There
Fixing the speed on DS/11Mbps corrected one of the debug errors 
(ath_rate_ctl: 2M -> 1M (0 ok, 1 err, 1 retr)) but I still with this 2 :
I think this error (ath_start: encapsulation failure) its cousing Ierrs 
and the Oerrs on the netstat, becouse is doing it all the time same with 
the  Ierrs and Oerrs
 
ath_calibrate: channel 2437/e0
ath_start: encapsulation failure
ath_start: encapsulation failure
ath_start: encapsulation failure
ath_start: encapsulation failure
