My understanding from mailing lists is that this should be handled in the kernel driver. I needed this patch to get ubuntu linux kernel 2.6.31 working correctly with a power saving device. I don't know if this patch is still required for this kernel version. I left it in for backwords compatibility with the older kernel and the Ath9k device. 2.6.31 is no longer supported upstream, there are no more extra version kernels going to be made with that. > Linux version 2.6.33-rc8-vortex86dx (schilpa@schilpa-laptop) (gcc version 4.4.1 (Ubuntu 4.4.1-4ubuntu9) ) #2 PREEMPT Fri Feb 19 09:03:09 CST 2010 > > 5. > [125970.918677] ------------[ cut here ]------------ > [125970.918874] WARNING: at net/mac80211/rx.c:2509 ieee80211_rx+0x82f/0x8a0 [mac80211]() > [125970.918901] Rate marked as an HT rate but passed status->rate_idx is not an MCS index [0-76]: 127 (0x7f) I've heard a few people report this now. It seems under certain conditions we do get a frame with a busted reported harware rate. How often does this happen for you? I should note that we drop these frames, the driver is somehow passing these frames up, it either should detect for these frames early or better yet we should figure out exactly when and how we get these type of frames. Maybe you can help and try to reproduce until you can get it to happen on demand. It would also help if you can test against a recent kernel. > [125970.918925] Modules linked in: aes_i586 aes_generic arc4 snd_usb_audio snd_pcm snd_timer snd_page_alloc ath9k snd_hwdep ath9k_common snd_usb_lib mac80211 iptable_filter snd_rawmidi ath9k_hw ip_tables snd_seq_device ath x_tables snd lp cfg80211 r6040 serio_raw soundcore parport mii led_class usbhid pata_rdc > > [125970.919133] Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.33-rc8-vortex86dx #2 > [125970.919153] Call Trace: > [125970.919200] [<c013856c>] warn_slowpath_common+0x6c/0xa0 > [125970.919286] [<e0b2465f>] ? ieee80211_rx+0x82f/0x8a0 [mac80211] > [125970.919364] [<e0b2465f>] ? ieee80211_rx+0x82f/0x8a0 [mac80211] > [125970.919399] [<c01385eb>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x2b/0x30 > [125970.919481] [<e0b2465f>] ieee80211_rx+0x82f/0x8a0 [mac80211] > [125970.919526] [<e09f702e>] ? ath_rxbuf_alloc+0x2e/0xa0 [ath] > [125970.919560] [<e09f702e>] ? ath_rxbuf_alloc+0x2e/0xa0 [ath] > [125970.919685] [<e0973c34>] ? ieee80211_get_hdrlen_from_skb+0x24/0x30 [cfg80211] > [125970.919725] [<e0b6e080>] ? ath9k_cmn_rx_skb_postprocess+0x30/0x160 [ath9k_common] > [125970.919798] [<e0ba8c68>] ath_rx_send_to_mac80211+0x78/0x80 [ath9k] > [125970.919842] [<e0ba95fc>] ath_rx_tasklet+0x3cc/0x690 [ath9k] > [125970.919877] [<c015ca85>] ? sched_clock_cpu+0xa5/0x120 > [125970.919925] [<e0ba7798>] ath9k_tasklet+0x108/0x140 [ath9k] > [125970.919966] [<c013de87>] tasklet_action+0x67/0x70 > [125970.920048] [<c013ece9>] __do_softirq+0x79/0x1a0 > [125970.920083] [<c0189715>] ? handle_IRQ_event+0x55/0x170 > [125970.920124] [<c0571bb8>] ? sub_preempt_count+0x8/0x90 > [125970.920155] [<c0571bb8>] ? sub_preempt_count+0x8/0x90 > [125970.920189] [<c013ee45>] do_softirq+0x35/0x40 > [125970.920217] [<c013f125>] irq_exit+0x85/0x90 > [125970.920245] [<c05742d2>] do_IRQ+0x42/0xb0 > [125970.920279] [<c0103590>] common_interrupt+0x30/0x40 > [125970.920321] [<c0109f72>] ? default_idle+0x62/0xa0 > [125970.920351] [<c0101dcc>] cpu_idle+0x9c/0xd0 > [125970.920390] [<c0564e1a>] rest_init+0x7a/0x80 > [125970.920432] [<c076a7b5>] start_kernel+0x314/0x31a > [125970.920462] [<c076a2d0>] ? unknown_bootoption+0x0/0x19b > [125970.920498] [<c076a09e>] i386_start_kernel+0x9e/0xa5 > [125970.920522] ---[ end trace 24dfc97b47d6eb21 ]--- > [145853.218975] ath: DMA failed to stop in 10 ms AR_CR=0x00000024 AR_DIAG_SW=0x40000020 > > > 00:02.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc.

We can only fix something in older stable kernels (2.6.33 is now old just as 2.6.34 will be in 2 weeks from now) if we first fix it on wireless-testing so if you use wireless-testing that can get us to reproduce that as well. That is of course unless this was a regression from 2.6.32 to 2.6.33 and we magicly fixed it on 2.6.34. > Also here is the kernel log for the module. > > [ 12.715169] cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain > [ 13.177053] cfg80211: World regulatory domain updated: > [ 13.177087] (start_freq - end_freq @ bandwidth), > (max_antenna_gain, max_eirp) > [ 13.177117] (2402000 KHz - 2472000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, > 2000 mBm) > [ 13.177142] (2457000 KHz - 2482000 KHz @ 20000 KHz), (300 mBi, > 2000 mBm) > [ 13.177168] (2474000 KHz - 2494000 KHz @ 20000 KHz), (300 mBi, > 2000 mBm) > [ 13.177194] (5170000 KHz - 5250000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, > 2000 mBm) > [ 13.177219] (5735000 KHz - 5835000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, > 2000 mBm) > [ 20.381672] ath: EEPROM regdomain: 0x0 > [ 20.381700] ath: EEPROM indicates default country code should be used > [ 20.381718] ath: doing EEPROM country->regdmn map search > [ 20.381744] ath: country maps to regdmn code: 0x3a > [ 20.381763] ath: Country alpha2 being used: US > [ 20.381779] ath: Regpair used: 0x3a > [ 20.507510] phy0: Selected rate control algorithm > 'ath9k_rate_control' > [ 20.515860] cfg80211: Calling CRDA for country: US > [ 20.518464] Registered led device: ath9k-phy0::radio > [ 20.521167] Registered led device: ath9k-phy0::assoc > [ 20.524295] Registered led device: ath9k-phy0::tx > [ 20.524926] Registered led device: ath9k-phy0::rx > [ 20.524988] phy0: Atheros AR9280 Rev:2 mem=0xe0be0000, irq=6 OK this line was the one I wanted.
