Subject: ath5k:  invalid hw_rix with 64 stations.
Date: Wed, 01 Dec 2010 16:49:28 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4CF6ED18.5010704@candelatech.com> (raw)

We were testing with 64 virtual stations running WPA, with
a single instance of supplicant controlling all interfaces and
the scan-sharing enabled.  It was running clean w/out encryption
(and w/out supplicant).

We see a large number of these types of warnings.  We had a proprietary
module loaded, but it was not in active use.  We're going to reproduce
without it, but in the meantime, here is a representative trace:
