[ltp] WLAN disconnecting (ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:02:02.0 disabled)

[Jens Mayer]

Dear readers,

I encounter a strange but nonetheless annoying problem. My WLAN adapter (lspci 
shows: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)) 
disconnects itself after a certain amount of time - the dmesg-log states the 
following:
	
	ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:02:02.0 disabled
	ath_pci: driver unloaded

This happens mostly after some time of inactivity, when I use the Thinkpad 
again after having it idling for a few hours, but it doesnt seem to be really 
related to that.

It's an T41p, kernel is 2.6.14 (happened with other kernels, too), using 
madwifi 0.1_pre20050420-r1 and wpa_supplicant 0.4.5 on Gentoo GNU/Linux.

Any hints on that?

Regards,
Jens
