 Actually I have not had much time when I run into a problem, so I
 tried disabling the ath driver yesterday evening. It worked, but
 unfortunatally I had electricity problems and couldn't make a reply on
 my original PR message.
 The botom line is, yes, the ath driver is the culprit. I already said
 the ath(4) driver did not work for my card, but never prevented kernel
 from booting. Pls tell me if you need some more output.
 
 Thanx
