      2.3-RC (amd64)
      built on Wed Apr 06 05:34:38 CDT 2016
      FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE

      Seen from console.  I haven't found a log file that contains this info.  Attached file to see full output.

      
      ath0: ath_reset_grablock: didn't finish after 10 iterations
      ath0: ath_reset_grablock: warning, recursive reset path!
      ath0: ath_reset: concurrent reset! Danger!
      
      ath0: ath_legacy_rx_tasklset: sc:_inreset_cnt > 0; skipping
      
      

      Atheros based PCI card.  AR2413A-001 (Belkin Wireless G Desktop Card)

      This is setup up as a second WAN for fail-over in the event I lose primary (Comcast).  Manually connecting to hotspot on phone (double NAT and all)  This is an older device that I used to use as an access point in pfSense and it worked well.  I have 2 and both act the same way.

      CFG looks like this:
      Infrastructure (BSS)
      WPA2, Pre-Shared Key
      AES
      Everything else is set to defaults

      Card will work after a reboot without an issue.  Had it running for 4 hours or so.  If you change the interface in pfSense or turn off the hotspot and turn it back on connectivity will go up and down.  Today I got the above messages at the console.

      If there are any logs that would be helpful please tell me and I'll include them in a followup.

      Thanks
      Seth
