The interrupt came right after enabled in probe function with
ATH_STAT_INVALID still set. Is this really a 2.6.34 regression? The only
difference I see that we now (in .35) use MIB interrrupts.

This is from .34. However I don't understand how this can happen. It
means that sc->ah is -25. But this cannot be true as sc->ah = kzalloc.
"Code:" line would be helpful too. Does the "nobody cared" appear in .34
too?

thanks,
