[Bug 223730] [NEW] Upgrade to HARDY breaks ATH AP mode

[AI8W]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-restricted-modules

Hardware:
Toshiba A35-S159 laptop, Atheros WIFI card.

In 7.10 it was possible to put the ATH card into AP (Access Point) mode,
so I could provide internet bridging to both laptops in the truck.

After upgrading to 8.04, immediately (within 10 seconds of) after
putting ATH into AP mode, the machine locks. Hard. As in I have to pull
the battery and AC cord to get a reboot hard.

There are no messages in /var/log/messages pertaining to this,
unfortunately.

I'm going to try removing restricted-drivers and replace with a custom
built madwifi-ng, but I'm not sure how successful this will be. At any
rate, there's something wrong with the Atheros drivers in 8.04.
