Dredging this back up as I finally have been able to get back to it with a hiatus on the work levels. Adrian, I have been fiddling with this and while the debug messages are no more informative my observations are. One thing has been rather prominent and that is that on boot the Atheros card seems to want quite a bit of time to stabilise. WPA supplicant comes in too early, and it will never stabilise until a reboot without WPA kicking in. But even then it takes about 2-5mins before you can hit it wpa_supplicant. This is a quad core machine; is it possible it cannot coordinate on smp? The debug errors continue regardless even if wpa is off and it is given time to stabilise. Once stable, though, the errors slowly die away. Just hoping this may help if you need to get a patch in for the next release. My own issues appear to run further than just network on this release... xorg, kms, multi-vga, pkg.... fun fun fun :-D Just let me know if you want more tests done.
