Hi,

I have uploaded the requested information to my server, it's rather big
so I don't want to post it here.

http://arkay.de/temp/ath9k_debug.tar.bz

Since the messages file is around 1GB I have extracted a couple of time
ranges.  First I had a disconnect (messages.reconnect... dhcpcd
complained at 20:47:24) , then later the network connection just hang
for a minute or two.  I was transferring a big file from a LAN server,
must have happened somewhere around 21:08 or 09 (messages.hang).  The
transfer just hang... neither the web nor ping worked.

I still have the messages file saved should anything be missing, I have
now turned debugging off since I don't have that much space on my
notebook :)

Thanks,
Rainer
