Hi,
the problem seems to involve ath5k driver and tx buffer on the mesh
node sending data. I reproduced the bug with different traffic
generators..it freeze even with ftp data transfer. To reproduce the
bug just bring up a mesh as told in the howto, create a multi hop path
from a source and a sink node,and generate traffic between such
nodes.if you kill any node which is forwarding data, mesh dies and
machine freeze.
