XR9 w 8.2 Stable

[Edgar Martinez]

If interface is up and running, and bgscan was disabled, then renabled, no scanning takes place.

If interface is up and configured, and ifconfig wlan0 scan is sent, no scanning is taking place.

Pretty much you have to have the interface not configured for anything, then you can do a scan up and get results.

No idea. :)

Lot's of reasons. DMA taking too long, TX engine is stuck, RX CLEAR is
stuck low, the medium is too busy, calibration is taking too long,
etc.

No idea? :) "6" should be an OFDM rate, same as 12. Maybe there's
something going on with power calibration in the AR5212 series NICs
that needs the higher rates to be used?
(Since the earlier nics use PAPRD test frames to calibrate the output TX.)
