Freeze with 3.8rc2 and ath

[Markus Pfeiffer]

Hello,

First note that dfly switched to a new usb stack recently. This is now the
default and wiggly in places. Unless you configured your kernel to use oldusb,
you'll be using the new usb stack.

If you are using the new usb stack, something does not add up here. 
The usb ath driver is called if_uath and creates a device uathX. One should
then create a wlan device using

ifconfig wlan0 wlandev uath0

etc. 

But even then, uath is not ported yet afaict, the module does ot build for me.
