I'm starting it by modprobing ath5k or ath_pci, depending on what needs
to be tested.  udev calls Gentoo's init script for the interface that's
created, which starts wpa_supplicant.  I can add debugging flags as well.
When testing with the guest wireless at work today, I got the attached
error in dmesg.  I only got it once, and haven't been able to reproduce
it, but thought it might be of interest.
