new ath_hal

[Jiri Mikulas]

Hello
After I applied patches on RELENG_6 I got this panic after about,

 Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
 fault virtual address   = 0x0
 fault code              = supervisor read, page not present
 instruction pointer     = 0x20:0xc06dcbb5
 stack pointer           = 0x28:0xdc9a3c04
 frame pointer           = 0x28:0xc1f3a000

                         = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
 processor eflags        = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
 current process         = 40 (swi6: task queue)
 trap number             = 12
 panic: page fault
 Uptime: 4m50s

I have this kernel on Flash card, so I can't debug it now, but I'll try
to reproduce this panic on lab machine.
Do you thik that this panic is ath related ?

 further when I started compiling of kernel, I got this warning
  WARNING: unknown option `AH_SUPPORT_5413' removed from
/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ROUTER-IPFW-PF/opt_ah.h
  WARNING: unknown option `AH_SUPPORT_DFS' removed from
/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ROUTER-IPFW-PF/opt_ah.h

..is this warning ok ?
there  is ath_hal: 0.9.16.3 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112,
RF2413, RF5413, DFS) in dmesg
 
also there are lot of messages like
 ath0: discard oversize frame (ether type 5e4 flags 3 len 1522 > max 1514)
do you know why ?

Thanks for reply
Jiri
