General Questions

I am running monoWall v1.3b my soekris box(net4501). I have attached
Atheros wireless card on mini-PCI slot. I have configured three
interfaces as follows:

Lan:sis0
WAN:sis1
OPT1:ath0

I enabled OPT1 interface and running in AP (hostap) mode, assigned IP
address and enabled dhcp server on it. After rebooting the box, I saw
beacons coming from the box. When I tried to associate my laptop with
the wirelessAP (ath0), It got associated as well. When i tried to get
dhcp, the very next moment I saw following log messages being dumped
on mono-console.

kernel: ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 4)
kernel: Interrupt storm detected on "irq10:"; throttling interrupt source
kernel: ath0: device timeout
kernel: ath0: ath_reset: unable to reset hardware; hal status 3228025153
kernel: ath0: device timeout
kernel: ath0: ath_reset: unable to reset hardware; hal status 3228025153
kernel: ath0: device timeout
kernel: ath0: ath_reset: unable to reset hardware; hal status 3228025153

Then I see my wireless card's status on laptop shows to be
'Unassociated'. And also I dont see any beacon coming from the box as
well. seems like mono box is no more operating as wirelessAP. I could
repeat this scenario 3-4 times.

Any idea, what could be going wrong here.
