dlbAthHardwareErrorInterrupts is a read-only Counter32 tallying hardware error interrupts for this Atheros wireless interface (row keyed by ifIndex) since the interface (or peer entry) came up, and it wraps back to zero once it overflows 32 bits. It increments once per hardware interrupt of this kind, so a sysadmin comparing it against a baseline can tell whether the radio driver is being interrupted more often than normal, which is a sign of RF interference, a duty-cycle problem, or a struggling chipset.
