ath not working after a motherboard and ram upgrade

[Adrian Chadd]

The problem isn't contigmalloc, it's making sure that it gets bounced via the local 32 bits of address space right.

I'll talk with other developers and see what the deal is with 64 bit address space for 32 bit nics.

Thanks,



Adrian

there isn't a requirement for the ath_buf entries to be allocated."



The EDMA code uses malloc, but would contigmalloc work instead?
