I think its related since ath was rock solid until 2.6.31. I can go 24/7 without
ever getting disconnected from wifihub with 2.6.30. If we both are experiencing
issues post 2.6.30 atleast it should be related to same bunch of patches.
Will see if I can use gfs computer for a couple of hours tommorow
since I need to feed it with traffic. Will start with your commits, will notice
if those turn out same for me.
