[ath9k-devel] mdns/avahi troubles

[Jens Thiele <karme@karme.de>]

Hi,

sometimes (when the wlan stick was idle for some time?) I see no answers
to mdns requests => mdns lookup fails.

Can't provide a lot of detail yet, but maybe this is a old known bug
already fixed?

kernel:
3.16.0-4-armmp-lpae #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt11-1+deb8u6 (2015-11-09) armv7l GNU/Linux
root at godlady:~# modinfo ath9k_htc|grep ^ver
vermagic:       3.16.0-4-armmp-lpae SMP mod_unload modversions ARMv7 p2v8 
firmware the 1.3 non-free one
(at the moment testing 1.3-1 from trisquel:
http://es.archive.trisquel.info/trisquel/pool/main/o/open-ath9k-htc-firmware/)

packet dump at other end (simply no response received):
