first thanks for the 0.6.1 and recompiling the kernel with gcc 4.3.2,
but does not work for me!

dmesg:
wifi0: ath_bstuck_tasklet: Stuck beacon; resetting (beacon miss count: 11)
wifi0: ath_bstuck_tasklet: Stuck beacon; resetting (beacon miss count: 11)
wifi0: ath_bstuck_tasklet: Stuck beacon; resetting (beacon miss count: 11)
