I would like to add some test conditions to a previous post.
AR9271 USB stick's antenna line of sight to AP antenna ~10m.
It that case I usually receive
athn0: device timeout
As man(4) athn diagnostic message shows. 'A frame dispatched to the
hardware for transmission did not complete in time. The driver will
reset the hardware. Make sure the laptop radio switch is on.'
When I connected AR9271 USB stick to 6.2amd64 host I usually got these
messages but not always
athn0: firmware command 0x17 timed out
athn0: firmware command 0x18 timed out
Full dmesg is below
