Hmm, has trouble with my external USB disk.  It doesn't detect it
properly at boot and udevd throws up a lot of errors like

   wait_for_sysfs: waiting for '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/1-8/1-8:1.0/host4/ioerr_cnt' failed

But if I unplug it then plug it back in then it's detected.  Which makes it
hard for booting!

However...  doesn't look like this USB stick is supported in this kernel
(no ath9k_htc module?)

  % grep 0846 modules.alias  | grep 9030
  %

The 3.2.9 kernel says
 % grep 0846 modules.alias  | grep 9030
 alias usb:v0846p9030d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* ath9k_htc

Good try, though!
