I'm still having issues with this.
When the access point wedges, it seems to affect my Android phone more
than the iwn laptop. ifconfig athn0 down up does resolve the problem
in the short term.
I see the changes have already been committed, so it's no longer
necessary to patch recent snapshots (running 14th, #133).
ifconfig athn0 media produces
athn0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

I can possibly try switching developer options on one of the Android
phones I have lying around.
