Hello,

 

Here is a description of my system :

Linux : 2.6.35-22-generic (on a ubuntu 10.04 LTS)

My wifi card is : 02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc.
AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)

"dmesg" outputs about the wifi controller are : 

Oct 10 17:28:49 kernel: [   12.546288] ath9k 0000:02:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI
17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17

Oct 10 17:28:49 kernel: [   12.606040] HDA Intel 0000:00:1b.0: PCI INT A ->
GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16

Oct 10 17:28:49 kernel: [   12.653486] phy0: Atheros AR9285 Rev:2
mem=0xf8e60000, irq=17

 

I am using an atheros Wifi Card in ad-hoc mode, I create my ad-hoc network
with two differents ways : 

1. Thanks to the following commands :

                ifconfig wlan2 down

                iwconfig wlan2 mode Ad-Hoc

                iwconfig wlan2 essid "Toto"

                ifconfig wlan2 up

2. Thanks to the ubuntu network manager "Create a New Network" function's. 

 

The way I use to create the network doesn't matter.

 

A few minutes after the AdHoc network is created, my system freeze. I have
got the following message in /var/log/kernel :

]---

----------------- END OF MESSAGE ------------------

 

Of course this message is only the call trace of the wifi driver, all
process running on the system generate a call trace. I am almost certain
that the problem come from the WiFi in AdHoc mode, because if I disable this
feature my system never freeze !

 

I will try with a newer kernel, but I read all the changelog from the 2.6.35
to 3.0, and I haven't seen any fix about my problem, so I don't think this
bug was fixed...

 

Any help will be very appreciated, 

 

Best regads, 

Adrien BARRAL.
Robopec.

please let us know if this issue occurs in the latest compat build
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download#Where_to_download_bleeding_edge
i just tried the same in my 3.1.0rc8- wireless-testing, no freeze
happened... may be i would have missed something
please disable network-manager(sudo service network-manager stop)
before configuring with command
may be the freeze can occur with the network manager enabled and we
are trying to create an ad-hoc mode
