Hi Dan,
Huh?
You have tried all three rate control algorithms, and they all say "kernel
BUG at /blah/blah/ath_rate/sample/sample.c:366"? If so, then you haven't
really switched rate control algorithms at all... this bug is specific to
ath_rate_sample, and the above message could only have come from
ath_rate_sample. You may have rebuilt the driver with a different
ATH_RATE setting, but perhaps you didn't move the old driver out of the
way, or perhaps you didn't unload the driver modules fully before trying
the new one?
If your message is different, then it is not the same crash as the one
documented in this ticket.
From what I've seen, this bug is *only* reproducable when the link is
brought down and back up. It does not occur during normal operation, I've
run the sample plugin for days and days without problem. And it *only*
occurs with the sample plugin; I have also done lots of testing with the
onoe plugin, and have had no issues. The onoe plugin certainly doesn't
emit any errors talking about ath_rate/sample/sample.c.
From the symptoms you describe, I think you must be seeing a different bug
than this one. Maybe you should add a new ticket, and post a crash dump
there?
Mark
