Hi @CmdQ and @ktgeek
I am running the workaround to perform a scan for every event 60 (with a threshold limit) for about a month now and seems quite OK (2.4 GHz No Connectivity Issue Thread).
But that is just a workaround, there is an underlying issue that causes the problem and as far I can understand it is not restricted to just linksys e8450 but it is a widespread ath9k driver issue.
@CmdQ do you still experience the kernel panics with the latest snapshot ?
