Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
I've digged a bit deeper into that. It seems the oops occurs at
ieee80211_output.c (line 667):
665: } else if (skb_tailroom(skb) < need_tailroom) {
666: int n = 0;
667: if (inter_headroom > skb_headroom(skb2))
668: n = inter_headroom - skb_headroom(skb2);
I think the use of skb2 here is invalid. In fact it's even undefined when
ATH_SUPERG_FF is not set. I'm not sure whether changing skb2 to skb here
is the proper fix, but at least it makes the oops vanish.
