I recently got a ath9k_htc based dongle and running kismet for a few
hours results in a kernel panic (divide error) in
ieee80211_calculate_rx_timestamp with kernel 3.11.0.
The problem seems to occur when the call to cfg80211_calculate_bitrate
returns 0. I've used this patch to temporarily works around the problem.
