Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
I've been seeing the same problem on my Fedora 7 system after updating the
kernel to 2.6.23.1-10.fc7 and madwifi 0.9.3.3 from livna.org.
Here are a couple more details, in case they help.
The first sign of badness in the kernel boot log is:
{{{

}}}
I've posted just enough context so you can see that it leads into the
original report's snippet.
For reference, here's what I see with the older kernel 2.6.22.9-91.fc7 and
madwifi 0.9.3.1
{{{

}}}
FYI, I'm getting the problem on a AR5005 chipset installed in a cheap Acer
Celeron laptop.
{{{
0a:03.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5005G
802.11abg NIC (rev 01)
}}}
Maybe it's a conflict with this particular Fedora kernel. Anyway, I'm
happy to keep using the older version, which seems to work fine.
Thanks for the great work!
