Bug#681232: [3.2.20->3.2.21 regression] Atheros WiFi Adapter couldn't find networks "gain calibration timeout"

[Jesse Rhodes <drubo@drubo.net>]

I should also note that if I load powernow_k8 *after* my wireless is already working, the bug does not return. It only seems to happen if powernow_k8 loads first.

Yes, it does! Confirmed on both bcf3655... and 3.2.0-3 from sid. Why would a cpufreq module break a PCI wireless card like that?

So does the problem go away if you unload the cpufreq driver
(powernow_k8)?
