Hello,
I am having the same type of trouble with a Dynex card. I mearly
receive 'ath0: Device timeout' on the main console screen.
> I take it you tried ifconfig'ing the interface down and up?
I have. The card does not appear to reset itself. While the card is up, it
just rotates across the chanels.

I can't. Is there someway to look into this issue deeper?
