I've > fixed the hal fwiw. That's definitely not the problem, it seems. I modified the driver to zero 'status' in each of the routines that emit the message. When I ran it today, it emitted the 'device timeout' and 'unable to reset hardware' messages: Sep 27 14:33:59 auton kernel: ath0: device timeout Sep 27 14:33:59 auton kernel: ath0: ath_reset: unable to reset hardware; hal status 19600117 Sep 27 14:34:21 auton kernel: ath0: device timeout Sep 27 14:34:21 auton kernel: ath0: ath_reset: unable to reset hardware; hal status 19600117 The only difference was that this time the status was always 19600117. A verbose boot, btw, gets this: Sep 27 14:38:43 auton kernel: ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xf2110000-0xf211ffff irq 17 at device 0.0 on cardbus0 Sep 27 14:38:43 auton kernel: ath0: Reserved 0x10000 bytes
