I did a bisect yesterday on this, and the resultsSo that just means the driver is broken. Please run
seemed to have worked over here by reverting:

if Kristoffer can try reverting this one
to see, then we can go from there.
iwconfig wlan0 power off
to fix it then. And the patch below will disable it by default since
it's broken.

I applied the patch from johannes and it ended my issues atleast. I ran my machine for approx
2 hours without seeing the disconnect issue (which I usually saw after 15-25min). Cant be 100% of course
but so far so good.
I agree with Justin that we could wait until he gets a chance to test it. It should be accepted
after initial merge (and stable trees) after that I think. Rafael thoughts?
Also, we should notify the atheros people so they could start fixing the driver (in a perfect world).
Best wishes
