Linksys AE3000

[Mario Vietri]

Dear Sirs,

I run an up-to-date ArchLinux system on a Toshiba Portege 
R600. I own a Linksys AE3000 (0x13b1:0x003b) usb wifi adapter, 
with driver downloaded from WikiDevi as per their AE3000 page, 
with the usual modifications.
The driver compiles, installs and runs correctly, until I 
begin watching a Youtube video, when it causes a kernel panic. 
I can easily reproduce this crash at will, and thus I could 
submit a kernel panic picture.

I have seen that this behaviour is hardly discussed on Google, 
and, though not completely unknown, it seems to me to be 
under-reported. I am thus wondering whether this has been done 
already, or if you think might be useful
to you (and to me, of course). Should it be of any interest to 
you, could you please point me to a page where a list of all 
required info for proper reporting is displayed?

Cheers,

Mario

The usual way to report a kernel panic would be to post that photograph.

That said, I'm not aware of anyone here that debugs vendor drivers, i.e. the 
ones that are not in the kernel. You will need to look at the cause of the 
panic, trace it back to the driver, and try to fix it yourself.

Because the chip in that device is an RT3573, perhaps the rt2x00 developers 
might help you, but most of us have other things to do.

Linksys AE3000 brings a RT3593 chip.
And still there is no support for any Ralink/Mediatek 3T3R chip
(RF3053/RF3853)/(RT3883/RT3563/RT3573/RT3593/RT3662)
in the rt2800{usb,pci} kernel drivers.

The only think you can do is try latest driver from mediatek:
