I also have similar problems with an D-LINK DWA-547 and I'd really like to provide the oops trace, but unfortunately the machine seems to hang that fast, that even no oops trace is shown. Also magic-sysreq don't work anymore, neither via serial console nor via keyboard. Only chance I have in this moment is to press reset-button, which already caused a full xfs-filsystem-corruption with dataloss once :-( My problem is, that the hang happens not immediately after loading the driver but "somewhen" while it is loaded. I have seen two types of crash: 1.) first investigations on my side seem to show that it happens, as soon as there is high dataload transfered, but I don't have detailed info yet. 2.) Running hostapd works fine while started first time, but no client is connected. When a client connects a system freeze occures "sometimes". Reproducably the system freezes immediately when starting hostapd, stop it and then restart hostapd. So every change in hostapd conf needs a full reboot, unloading the ath9k module and reload it does not prevent freeze, but after reboot I can start hostapd once without a problem (only the metioned "sometime" freezes on client connect or high data-volume). As this machine is productive, I suspended testing for now. I will change the card into a non-productive environment in the next days. As soon as I find more details, I'll report. > > Please test with the latest drivers from > wireless-testing/compat-wireless and restart in single user mode, we > want to ensure X is not running at all and you are in a virtual > terminal.

Ok, that'll be a thing I'd need to test to, as in my case wpa_supplicant is running.
