ath(4) failing with ath_reset for AR9285

[Matthias Rampke]

Hey,

the ath_reset in itself is not the problem. I'm seeing it quite often but that doesn't stop it from working.

I have seen a specific DHCP problem (DHCPDISCOVER sent&received at router, router sends DHCPOFFER but it doesn't arrive) quite often and so has Matt Dillon (can't find the commit right now) â?? setting "net.wlan.force_swcrypto=1" in /etc/sysctl.conf overrides use of the hardware crypto which fixes the problem. Of course it would be great to sync with the latest FreeBSD drivers â?¦

Best,
matthiasr
