Just saw the great news, Sam. Thanks for your work on this and for adding it to current. Checking my current@ email I found "HEADS UP: ath_hal updated to 0.10.5.10 -- PLEASE TEST" which I'm completely confident will solve the problems without any more patching. I just changed my build script for tonight to not add the old patch the source. I'll comment tomorrow after booting the new kernel.
