I did not mean occasional usage on a laptop but in real life enviroment
running as AP with clients connected to it.
An example: 
Try to set your ath in bridge with one wired interface.
Last I checked both ath's need to be in adhoc and even then sending
small packets over that bridge will make your soekris panic (at
least my do).
What I also miss a whole lot is WDS extensions to ath implementation.

I am sorry if I sound like I am whining. I greatly appreciate all the
work done by David Young and others working on the ath driver.
