On another machine with which the serial connects to, 5. tip -9600 /dev/ttya --open a serial console when pcwl hangs, in the redirected serial console 6. push key 'Shift'+'~'+'#' -enter kmdb 7. in kmdb, 7.1 >pcwl_intr:b --set breakpoint 7.2 >:c --continue 7.3 >$C --print the interrupt stack frame Any questions, pls show them out. -Brian >PS.
