Hi,

I have a Samsung N130 netbook which has

  phy0: Atheros AR9285 MAC/BB Rev:2 AR5133 RF Rev:e0: mem=0xf80e0000, irq=16

and I run Debain unstable with a linux-2.6.32-rc6-166-g799dd75 kernel.


When running kismet I get a lot of

This is 100% reproducable.  However it seems kismet is still working
(but probably missing some frames due to the issue).


Connecting to and AP via WPA2 works (but I didn't test much yet), but
when I terminate wpa_supplicant I also get one of the "DMA failed to stop"
messages (same AR_CR and AR_DIAG_SW).


Is it safe to assume that the message is caused by an invalid
RX DMA descriptor?  Or hat else could cause DMA to fail to complete?


Thanks
Johannes
