PfSense on Netbook

[redpanther]

Not so much a question but wondered if anybody else was running a pfSense on a Netbook.
Netbook: Acer Aspire One - Intel Atom 1.6Ghz, 1GB ram
Lan: Onboard Realtek
Wan: Trendnet TU2-ET100 USB 2.0 - Ethernet adapter
Wireless: internal Atheros that came with netbook
Running from CD iso mounted on 1GB flash drive for testing. Will HD install if everything tests out ok.
Internal Atheros is OPT 1 configured as Access point
So far is working very well, except for one thing with the wireless. I keep getting this message: ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 4)

Below I have included dmesg.
