I believe this is something different (tx path not rx).  I think it's
that minstrel rate table bug again, which we never solved for ath5k.

Are you using adhoc or managed mode?  Do you have the slab/slub debugging
options turned on?  Any steps that consistently reproduce it?  Do you
get any warnings with PID controller?
