[ath9k-devel] ath9k atomic failure (i am so cool to use words i don't understand)

[Dmitri Seletski <drjoms@gmail.com>]

Hello boys and girls.
Tried yesterdays package provided by Luis.


in order to catch kernel error message i have written little script that 
is basically loop that writes dmesg info onto my flash memory card.
several times tried it - not one time successful...

script is below by the way.


////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

while [ "1" != "0" ]

do

savepath=/media/disk/fcron/dmesg$(date +%H%M+%S).txt

echo $savepath

dmesg >> $savepath

sync

done


///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

it takes roughly  0.6 second to update file on flash drive.

Bad news, out of 3 times - no error message has being caught in dmesg...
last dmesg output is attached to this email. in any of cases raising 
elephants didn't help.

What i have noticed - if i run two "ping -A ROUTER" in parallel, than 
condition comes earlier. It seems to me, that using "several streams" at 
the same time, be it tcp traffic or icm - computer hangs quicker.
Let me know if you want me to try anything else.

I am trying to be good, so Santa will spare my sinful soul and do me a 
Christmas present :-)

Dmitri
