Need help with diagnostics

[Michael BlackHeart]

Thanks.
I do really have in kernel

options         ATH_DEBUG
options         ATH_DIAGAPI

and I've got D-Link WiFi card with Atheros chip

ath0 at pci0:3:0:0:        class=0x028000 card=0x3a7e1186 chip=0x0030168c
rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Atheros Communications Inc.'
    device     = 'AR9300 Wireless LAN adaptor'
    class      = network
    bar   [10] = type Memory, range 64, base 0xf7ee0000, size 131072,
enabled
    cap 01[40] = powerspec 3  supports D0 D1 D3  current D0
    cap 05[50] = MSI supports 4 messages, 64 bit, vector masks
    cap 10[70] = PCI-Express 2 endpoint max data 128(128) link x1(x1)
                 speed 2.5(2.5) ASPM disabled(L0s/L1)
    ecap 0001[100] = AER 1 0 fatal 0 non-fatal 1 corrected
    ecap 0002[140] = VC 1 max VC0
    ecap 0003[300] = Serial 1 0000000000000000

If you say that's nothing bad than OK. I just get a little worried 'cos I
never expieirnced this debug output for at least 2 years of using this
card. Probably last kernel/system update to 1001510 r280164 stable bring
this up.

Think different.
Just superior.
