[issue2029] ath unusable after commit 6c20d4dd

[xbit (via DragonFly issue tracker)]

New submission from xbit <sgaerner at gmx.net>:

Hi!

I'm following branch DragonFly_RELEASE_2_8.  After updating my system (make
buildworld buildkernel KERNCONF=X86_64_GENERIC and make installworld
installkernel) my Atheros card does not connect to my local WPA2 network anymore.

After running 'git bisect' I detected that commit 6c20d4dd causes this problem.
 I reverted that commit on my local copy of the source and my card connects
again to the network.

The console shows the following error while the system starts up.  I'm using
wpa_supplicant to connect to the network.

ath0: ath_chan_set: unable to reset channel 6 (2437 MHz, flags 0x480), hal status 3
ath0: ath_chan_set: unable to reset channel 6 (2437 MHz, flags 0x480), hal status 3
. ..

Attached is a dmesg that shows the error.
