.. I can't tell here whether there's any interrupts making it to the
ath0 device or not.

The driver in -HEAD logs the TX and RX interrupt counts in a ath
sysctl which I can track.

Can you please compile up athstats and recompile your kernel with:

ATH_DEBUG
AH_DEBUG
ATH_DIAGAPI

.. as we will need to establish whether you're actually queuing frames
to the hardware, whether they're going out, whether the hardware is
actually completing them, and whether the interrupt is being
generated.

Thanks,



Adrian
