I have similar problem with 4311 (Dell Inspiron 640m with 1390 mini-wireless
module). I didn't noticed neither any problems with kernel module inserting
or removing, nor kernel panic.
Sysinfo:
Gentoo Linux
linux-2.6.21 (almost vanilla) + combined_2.6.21.patch
Asus AM604g adsl router/AP based on Broadcom BCM6348
wpa_supplicant-0.5.7
firmware 3.130.20.0
Network authentication: WPA-PSK with TKIP encryption
wireless card is eth2
wpa_supplicant.conf:
ap_scan=1
network={
ssid="myssid"
bssid=02:13:d4:XX:XX:XX
scan_ssid=1
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
psk="secret"
}
Running
`wpa_supplicant -Dwext -ieth2 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -d`
gives me following (beware, story continues below):
