Subject: [ath5k] kernel panic while using compat-wireless-2.6.38.2-2
Date: Wed, 11 May 2011 12:38:38 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4DCA672E.2080906@googlemail.com> (raw)
Hello linux-wireless list!
I am using a Sparklan WPEA-166G/W with Chipset AR5BXB63 Rev. 11 (it's a
MiniPCI-card) in an embedded X86-System (Pipal 2140U, Intel ATOM
processor). It's running voyage-0.6.5, which essentially is a Debian
Lenny System.
I am running kernel 2.6.33.9-rt31:
demo00000001:~# uname -a
Linux SSB_wlan-demo00000001 2.6.33.9-rt31-atom-ssb #1 PREEMPT RT Mon May
9 18:25:28 CEST 2011 i686 GNU/Linux
I installed the compat-wireless drivers version 2.6.38.2-2 (
http://www.orbit-lab.org/kernel/compat-wireless-2.6-stable/v2.6.38/compat-wireless-2.6.38.2-2.tar.bz2
) and installed everything I need according to this webpage:
http://acx100.erley.org/stable.html
Once issueing modprobe ath5k, putting the interface up and waiting for
~30sec, I get a kernel panic. Could this be a bug or am I doing
something wrong?
The error only occurrs after putting the interface up. If I don't do so,
the error won't be there.
Here is some output from the machine:
