Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
Not really sure where I should mention this. My system is not a x86-64
like #239, though I am using a Netgear 511 card. Its a Gentoo based
system, and am currently using the ebuild for the madwifi-
driver-0.1443.20060207, though I'm using wep, not wpa_supplicant.
Generally I can expect a kernel panic at least once a day, normally two or
more, but, like #239, its always in the interrupt handler, so the oops
doesn't get logged. While I'm not entirely sure its relevant, my logs are
pretty much flooded with "rix 'n' (0) bad ratekbps 0 mode 6" where 'n' is
>=7 and <=11. These message appear on the order of up to 306 per second,
but generally not that bad.
The relevant snippet from my logs upon modprobing ath_pci follow:

and, how do I determing the rate control module? (this was built with the
gentoo emerge, no specific use flags added, it you wish, I'll pull down
the latest via svn and build that)
