Title:
  0cf3:7015 [HP Pavilion Media Center a1630n Desktop PC] ath9k_htc 14.04
  NetworkManager hangs after 'ath: phy0: Unable to remove station entry
  for...'

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This problem has been happening randomly since I installed 14.04.
  Today it happened twice while trying to zsync the latest iso.

  I use a TP-Link TL-WN821N wireless adapter to connect to the internet,
  which uses the ath9k_htc module. NetworkManager occasionally locks up
  to the point where any commands I try to kill it or restart it hang as
  well, and my only way out is REISUB. Right before it happens I have
  noticed twice in my dmesg:

  [  494.896048] ath: phy0: Unable to remove station entry for:
  f4:ec:38:ec:42:02 For reference that mac address is the default router
  I connect to daily.

  and then shortly after we get a kernel dump for NetworkManager:

  [  720.752078] INFO: task NetworkManager:850 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

  I don't know how to reproduce it, but it happened once on March 28
  when I installed and three times on April 2 in a short period of time.
  I will attach the dmesg I took before the last REISUB to the bug.
  Please let me know if any more information is useful, I'll try to get
  it next time it happens.
