Hi all,
I recently updated some AR913x based routers (with AR9100 MAC/BB Rev:0
AR2133 RF Rev:a2) with ath9k from compat-wireless-2010-07-29.
Performance in HT20 is very good and stability is much improved. :)
However, once in a while under high load (about every 15-30 minutes)
the driver gets into a loop resetting the chip over and over. It does
this for a minute or two, with both RX and TX stuck, and then snaps
out of it. The log below shows a typical scenario of seemingly endless
looping and then a sudden recovery. While in the reset loop it seems
RX is completely broken (nothing coming in on monitor interface).
What do the hex codes AR_CR=0x00000024 AR_DIAG_SW=0x42000020 mean?
Is there some way to reset the chip that is sure to work the first time?
Thanks for any help!

That 3 months old now, try upgrading and see if you see the same issues.

When I've finally found a snapshot that has stood up to 3 months of
testing I'm not very keen on upgrading to a later one (I have tried
some but they are broken in other ways).
Is there a stable branch that you can recommend?

If you want stability you should focus on using the releases
based on the stable kernels:
