sure..

as for seeing this issue. nothing really now on the current. only 
message I see is:

[   69.551295] ath: Failed to stop TX DMA in 100 msec after killing last 
frame
[   69.551336] ath: Failed to stop TX DMA!

which I saw earlier today.. keep in mind I am at the book store so the 
internet is constantly connecting/disconnecting
