Subject: Kernel panic in ieee80211_calculate_rx_timestamp
Date: Thu, 19 Sep 2013 20:01:14 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <523B3BEA.9000100@gmail.com> (raw)

I recently got a ath9k_htc based dongle and running kismet for a few
hours results in a kernel panic (divide error) in
ieee80211_calculate_rx_timestamp with kernel 3.11.0.

The problem seems to occur when the call to cfg80211_calculate_bitrate
returns 0. I've used this patch to temporarily works around the problem.
