[Voyage-linux] ksoftirqd/0 consumes all CPU during atheros transmit

[Edwin Whitelaw]

Googling shows others have reported this but I've not found any answers.

Voyage 0.5.2 fully upgraded.  Board is bridging eth0 and ath0.  During 
transmit, the CPU load (as shown by top) goes to 95% + and the 
throughput drops to nothing.  Receiving traffic has no effect on 
ksoftirqd/0.  I've tried two different radios, XR2 and DCMA-82 and both 
WRAP and ALIX boards. 

Will try an earlier Voyage next.

Anyone have any ideas on this?  This is a show stopper for this unit and 
would like to understand better the cause.  Is this a madwifi issue?  
Kernel?  Combination?

Thanks,

Edwin
