ath0: device timeout on 9.0-STABLE

[Michal Vančo]

Adrian,

believe or not … it simply started to work. I just left my thinkpad turned off during the night and now when I booted, almost everything works as expected:

# ifconfig wlan0

I say "almost" because that small WiFi-LED doesn't blink as it should. Is there any way to fix this? I see these sysctls:

dev.ath.0.softled: 0
dev.ath.0.ledpin: 0
dev.ath.0.ledon: 0
dev.ath.0.ledidle: 2700

but I'm lost with them :)
