Bug#516762: madwifi-source: I get a lot of wifi0: ath_fatal_tasklet: Hardware error; resetting

[Hasse Hagen Johansen]

Package: madwifi-source
Version: 1:0.9.4+r3772.20080716-1
Severity: important

Hi

After upgrading to lenny and building the madwifi module with 
module-assistant I see a lot of these in my kernel.log

wifi0: ath_fatal_tasklet: Hardware error; resetting

And my wifi has also become unstable. This has worked for years before 
upgrading to lenny so I don't believe i've got a hardware problem. The 
card is place in a Soekris net 4801 machine and exact hardware model 
from lspci is:

Atheros Communications Inc. AR5212/AR5213 Multiprotocol MAC/baseband 
processor (rev 01)

And I don't believe the ath5k in lenny can work as accesspoint?
