ath9k fellows,

as it seems no one could find the cause for this problem so far. I'd therefore
like to create a workaround by checking one/some registers for 0xdeadbeef and
reset the chip if this is found.

Can anyone recommend a register which should never go 0xdeadbeef in a normal 
case?

From what i've seen, AR_CFG (0x0014) might be a good choice. My regdumps say:

bad regdump:  0x000014 0xdeadbeef    
good regdump: 0x000014 0x0008010a

Unfortunately I don't have documentation to find out if this register can ever
go deadbeef in a normal case. :)

What do you think? (of course, a proper solution is still appreciated ...)

Cheers,
        Simon
