Debugging ath device timeouts

Under 6-STABLE, I am encountering intermittent timeouts with an ath device 
(Netgear WG311T).  Beyond compiling and running 80211watch and
80211stats, I'm at a loss as to where I should be looking to try to track
down this problem.  Search through the archives for this error don't seem
to point at a consistent area within the stack to look for a culprit.

Any suggestions as to what could be causing this error?
