ar9285 on 9-stable reboots

[Marko Cupać]

There is no 9 anymore :)

I got hang again, first I lost IP address, and when doing ifconfig
wlan0 destroy computer just froze, taking no input from keyboard, had
to power it off.

I noticed this has something to do with virtualbox, when using virtual
machine with bridged network. I see messages:

--
wlan0: promiscuous mode enabled
wlan0: link state changed to DOWN
wlan0: link state changed to UP
wlan0: promiscuous mode disabled
--

Last time when I lost IP address, I shut down virtualbox VM, and after
that ifconfig wlan0 destroy && ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0
brought me back ip address without a hang.

So the things are getting more complicated...
