I knew Murphy was just playing with us ;)

And in dmesg.txt, I see this:

Just what I expected.

Interestingly, the firmware blew up at a different location than
in my channel change experiments. (Line 0x87a instead of 0x393.)

I'll send it to Atheros and see if that's enough information for
them or if they need anything else.

Perfect. As long as the problem appears, fewer factors are better.

That's good then. The "BUSY" was offered by Atheros as a possible
explanation for why --power maxperf made some problems go away
(the underlying cause would be a bug in the SDIO controller), but
I didn't really think we had that issue anyway.

Thanks a lot !
