Hi,

sould be still in the Cc field, I answert to all to leave nobody with
half of the story :)

No that is the only thing I did not. I followed the instructions from:
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#bug_reporting
It wasn't mentioned to Cc anybody as far as I know :)

I attached the text of the original mail (but not the attachments as
there should be no need for them in here; if I am wrong with this, ask
me for them :) )
If there is anything wrong with the bugreport, feel free to criticize.


I am aware that this is offtopic, so do not spend to much time
on it, I am going to send a copy of the original mail to the wireless
maintainer, as you suggested, and see what will happen.


Gruss / Regards,

Subject: Oops on ifconfig wlan0 up
Date: Sat, 19 Jun 2010 22:29:30 +0200


Hi,

I am using an ibook g4, running gentoo (and MacOsX for testing).

Every time I try to use my wireless card, the driver crashes.
'Using' means to do something like "ifconfig wlan0 up". Sometimes the
driver also crashes while booting.
I tried to boot MacOsX, but the wlan didn't work there anymore, too.
(MacOsX now often crashes after a few seconds; might the
driver broke my wlan card?)



wlan configuration, authentication/encryption type:
---------------------------------------------------
none, it crashes without being connected to anything


uname -a:
---------
Linux cbook 2.6.32-gentoo-r7 #7 Sun May 30 10:49:11 CEST 2010
ppc 7447A, altivec supported PowerBook6,7 GNU/Linux


working with other kernel versions:
-----------------------------------
I don't know, it is the first kernel I use on the ibook


lspci -vvn | grep 43 -A7: is attached

dmesg: is attached (and contains the Oops message)
