sysutils/hal causes ath device timeout

Hi all,

I don't know if mobile_at_, ports_at_ or current_at_ is the right list to report
this so I will give it a try here.
The hal daemon causes a timeout of my ath-driven Netgear WAG511 PC-Card.
As soon as hald is started, the wireless connection is lost and I get
this kernel message:
ath0: device timeout
ath0: ath_reset: unable to reset hardware; hal status 3230239248

When I eject the card then, the machine reboots.

Environment:

FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT #0: Mon Jan 14 22:37:27 CET 2008
