dmesg with AR9565 active and non-functional

Generic kernel, 10.3-BETA3 (same issue with 10.3-BETA2 and 10.2-RELEASE).
HP 15-d070TU laptop.

As of this morning I am running 10.3-BETA3, upgraded from 10.2-BETA2 using
freebsd-update -r 10.3-BETA3 upgrade, but all comments below apply to
10.3-BETA3, 10.3-BETA2 and 10.2-RELEASE at least.

uname -a:

When I enable the AR9565 Wi-Fi in my laptop the system makes all the right
noises but cannot start dhclient. The ath0 interface shows as associated but
wlan0 shows no carrier. The extract below shows this. Full logs and
configuration files are attached.

The visible symptoms are that the system regularly emits messages such as:
"ath0: ath_edma_recv_tasklet: sc_inreset_cnt > 0; skipping" and the wireless
interface is unable to route packets.

The wired ethernet goes to the same router and functions perfectly. This is=
sue
with the wireless was *not* present in 11.0-CURRENT when I last tried it a
couple of months back, and the wireless in this same laptop worked perfectly
with the same router and an unchanged configuration.

The closest match I can find is this one, which has similar symptoms but the
requester did not respond to the last question: #188415. My response to that
question is that I am running the generic kernel fresh from the freebsd-upd=
ate
process.
