[ath9k-devel] error:Segmentation fault after compiling and move ath9k

[wendy_life]

Hi shafi !
Recently,I got a stupid mistake that kept puzzling me for long time.Help!
Things are like those as follow:
OS:Openwrt backfire
Compile target:ath9k(compat-wireless-2011-06-22)
Platform target:UBNT RouterStation
I chose ath9k at the time of "make menuconfig",and then I got the ko files as follow
Kmo-ath:        ath.ko
Kmod-ath9k:     ath9k.ko  
Kmod-ath9k_common:     ath9k_hw.ko  ath9k_common.ko
Kmod-cfg80211:     cfg80211.ko   compat_firmware_class.ko  compat.ko
Kmod-mac80211:  mac80211.ko

When I replace thess .ko files to target platform ,reboot and wifi(wireless start command ), 
I got this error prompt:  Segmentation fault

At the same time , I also got .ipk files after compiling as followkmod-ath9k-common_2.6.32.27+2011-06-22-2_ar71xx.ipk
kmod-ath9k_2.6.32.27+2011-06-22-2_ar71xx.ipk
kmod-ath_2.6.32.27+2011-06-22-2_ar71xx.ipk
kmod-cfg80211_2.6.32.27+2011-06-22-2_ar71xx.ipk
kmod-mac80211_2.6.32.27+2011-06-22-2_ar71xx.ipk

I try to remove original modules and setup these new .ipk files,reboot and wifi.
I got the same me error prompt:Segmentation fault

At both processes,I have not changed any code since downloading source code of OpenWrt Backfire(including compat-wireless 2011-06-22),just compiled one time.

What is the problem? what is the right process of modifying ath9k driver code and taking compiled modules effect on target platform?

 Best Wishes~~

Hi Wendy,

sorry i have not tried on working with OpenWrt. please ask in the OpenWrt
list.  i had also Cced Felix and Adrian, Pavel Roskin who might know about
this. may be you can just try with another OpenWrt  package which has some
latest compat-wireless.

thanks,
shafi

Actually, I'm not involved with OpenWRT, I just use it on some of my
routers.

That's several months old!

Unless there is a kernel log with indications that it comes from ath9k,
there is no point in posting that to the ath9k-devel list, let alone
copying individual developers.  And even then, I would prefer
somebody in the OpenWRT list to triage the problem first.
