Re: kernel panic on MIPS + ath5k + Wistron CM9 radio

Well, I see the same on FreeBSD/MIPS whenever an Atheros device is
fondled incorrectly. Either because the chip isn't yet fully awake or
the register plainly doesn't exist.

See if you can add some debugging in ath5k_hw_reset_tx_queue() to see
which register is being read/written before the PCI bus error occurs.

I have that hardware (routerstation/rspro) and the CM-9 card but I
don't currently have any spare time to run it up and test, sorry.
