Hi,
I'm running a SR71C (AR9280+AR5133) from Ubiquiti on Ubiquiti's router station
using the latest compat-wireless driver. On module load I get this
identification string:
phy0: Atheros AR9280 MAC/BB Rev:2 AR5133 RF Rev:d0: mem=0xb0000000, irq=48
Unfortunately, the driver crashes as soon as I try to enable the card (iwconfig
wlan0 up). The kernel backtrace looks like this:
PCI error 1 at PCI addr 0x10009a10
Data bus error, epc == 83c45b5c, ra == 83c45b54

I traced the error to the REG_SET_BIT call in
ath9k/hw.c:ath9k_hw_override_ini()
REG_SET_BIT(ah, AR_DIAG_SW, (AR_DIAG_RX_DIS | AR_DIAG_RX_ABORT));
As I don't know what these registers are doing I tried a few things which
might or might not help you:
* even only reading the register AR_DIAG_SW at that point makes it crash
* a few lines further up in ath9k_hw_process_ini() this very register was
readable without invoking a kernel panic
I tried several of these cards on 2 different router station boards using
different power supplies. I'm pretty sure it is not a hardware problem. Does
anyone have an idea what the problem might be ?
Thanks in advance,
Marek

Not sure what these mean, I take it this is mips? May want to check
with the arch list to see when/why these type of pci error / data bus errors
crop up.

Yes, it is mips.
Where or what is the list you mentioned ?

The linux-mips-kernel list:
http://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/Net_Resources#Mailing_lists
Please CC linux-wireless. You may want to ask to the mips folks
what that error means above. Then maybe we can take it from there.
