>Description:

If you do a tcpdump on an ath interface, it quits receiving packets
from the rest of the world, though it doesn't show any apparent
problems if you ifconfig the interface in another window. I suspect
this is a promiscuous mode problem rather than a bpf problem, but I
haven't looked into the details. The interface fails to get back to
normal until you down and up the interface again.

>How-To-Repeat:

Try doing tcpdump on an ath device, say:

tcpdump -n -i ath0 host foo

Then watch as the tcpdump shows packets you send, but no others. Then
notice that all your connections are dead. Then kill the tcpdump --
you will need up and down the ath interface and wait some moments to
get connectivity again.
