#1708: problem with 802.11a mode (kernel panic with v0.9.3.3 and no-function with svn-3077) --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Type: defect Status: new | Priority: major Component: madwifi: driver | Version: v0.9.3.3 Keywords: | Patch_attached: 0 --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- System: 64bits Gentoo (amd64), kernel 2.6.23 or 2.6.22, gcc 4.2.2, wireless card: 3COM 3CRDAG675 (pci). Problem: using stable v0.9.3.3 ath_pci in _master_ mode the selection of any 5GHz-channel (i.e. trying to use 802.11a) causes kernel panic after 5-10 seconds and complete blockage of the system. Using svn-3077 version the selection of 802.11a channels has no effect (channel simply does not change, may be it is a temporary workaround for the known problem?). In 802.11g the setup works without problems. Do not know if it is relevant if the card in master or managed mode. I was updating from kernel 2.6.14 and unknown madwifi version (where all worked fine) as the problem first arises. Due to the problem no unattended/unmanaged boot was possible before I recognized that the problem was because of 802.11a. Not really a critical problem for me, but may be a problem for those people who can not boot after kernel update.
