The only client for this network is at the moment a Nokia E72, I am using hostapd in version 0.6.10, I have a WPA/WPA2 PSK encrypted network on channel 2 configured. About two times a week my box crashes, now I have removed the panic=30 out of my kernel command line and captured an panic (also attached here, but I don't know if the attachments work trough the mailing list): http://cableguy.no-ip.com/Files/panic.jpg I think the panic is caused by the ath9k driver. I have attached my kernel config and my dmesg-output from my last boot, I am using kernel 2.6.35.4 on debian lenny. Hardware is a Via Nehemiah CPU with Via CLE266 chipset, 1GB RAM, CF and HDD (both on secondary IDE channel), DVB-Card (Terratec Cinergy 1200 DVB-C) and WLAN-Card (Atheros AR4516) in PCMCIA-Slot. I am using two of the 4 onboard Realtek-LANs, I do not use the onboard soundcard. lspci: 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8623 [Apollo CLE266] 00:01.0 PCI bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.
