> Okay, if this is still a bug, can you do a clean install of the
madwifi-ng
> source,
I obtained a fresh copy of the source via svn.
It compiled cleanly AFAICT.
It installed cleanly AFAICT.
I can send you "script" logs of the compile and install upon request.
I checked that there is only one copy of:
athstats 80211stats athkey athchans athctrl athdebug 80211debug
wlanconfig
installed on my system.
I checked that every entry in:
/lib/modules/2.6.16.11/net
has the expected recent timestamp.
If that's not what you mean by a "clean" install, please explain in
more detail what you want.

I read it. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with the information.

I cannot imagine why it doesn't crash for you.
It remains 100% reproducible chez moi.

Here you go: From dmesg:

That is much harder. There is no serial port on the machine I'm using
(never
thought I'd see the day) ... so I cannot easily log the panic/oops/BUG
messages.
Let me work on it.

Can we keep all the info in this ticket (ticket:182), so there's an easy
way to refer to it.
thanks.
Will wait for the crash messages, I see that you're using a preemptible
kernel, that may be a reason why I can't reproduce the crashes. when I
get some time, I'll go ahead and build a preemptible kernel and try this.
(i would imagine it would be the same with SMP systems, but haven't heard
from anyone so far)
