 I am using Atheros 5212 mini-pci card on a AMD au1550 mips little endian
 platform. OS is linux kernel 2.4.20.

 The madwifi driver I am using HAL: ath_hal: 0.9.9.3, wlan: 0.7.3.2 BETA,
 ath_pci: 0.8.5.5 BETA

 Any idea for following probem is appreciated.

Comment:

 Current HAL version is 0.9.17.2, you're using 0.9.9.3. The best thing you
 can do is to switch to a recent version of MadWifi and try again. If the
 problem exists there as well, you should reopen this ticket.
