Ok I have some debug information. I have a machine set up as a multimedia file server and as soon as I get 3 minutes into a video or so, poof, the connection gets dropped. I stream over http but it happens when I scp a file too. I have a watchdog that checks the connection constantly and if pings fail, it brings wlan0 down (rmmoding everything from ath9k to led_class) and brings it back up again. It's a pain, but at least I can keep the server up for weeks at a time that way. With the attached log, the problems seems to start at 21:31:33 when I get lots of problems I don't understand followed by lots of "receive FIFO overrun interrupt" and then later more and more "AR_INTR_SYNC_LOCAL_TIMEOUT". By 21:32:03, my watchdog has noticed no pings are getting through and by 21:32:13 it has cycled the interface. The log gets noticeably smaller then, as the http file transfer has timed out. the log is at http://joseph.cheek.com/sites/default/files/ath9k.jun22.21.31+32.log_.bz2 and the hwinfo is at http://joseph.cheek.com/sites/default/files/hwinfo.ath9k. I have a blog entry with a little more info at http://joseph.cheek.com/node/7. Let me know if you need more info or want me to file a kernel.org bug. The kernel is today's wireless-testing git tree.
