Could you write details about your setup? Which bcm chip do you have (I'll try to reproduce it with a similar chip if possible)? Do you have SMP machine? Do you have SMP kernel? Do you have preemption enabled in the kernel? Do you have ipv6 enabled? What type of encryption are you using to connect to AP? Are you running wpa_supplicant? > Any suggestions on how to provide more information? Compile kernel with d80211 and bcm43xx debug information enabled (CONFIG_D80211_DEBUG, CONFIG_D80211_VERBOSE_DEBUG and CONFIG_BCM43XX_D80211_DEBUG, but _not_ CONFIG_TKIP_DEBUG and CONFIG_HOSTAPD_WPA_TESTING). Use vga=1 kernel parameter at boot. Kill klogd and set kernel logging to the highest level: klogconsole -l 9 -r 1 killall klogd echo '9 4 1 7' > /proc/sys/kernel/printk Switch to the first console (tty1) and wait for the hang. Take a screenshot with a camera :-) Thanks, -- Jiri Benc SUSE Labs _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list [email protected] http://bat.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
