#1769: kerlenpanic with maxvaps > 32
-----------------------------------------+----------------------------------
Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Type: defect
Status: new | Priority: major
Component: madwifi: driver | Version: trunk
Keywords: | Patch_attached: 0
-----------------------------------------+----------------------------------
When using maxvaps > 33, the following command sequence produces a kernel
panic:
{{{
modprobe ath_hal
modprobe wlan
modprobe ath_rate_sample
modprobe wlan_scan_sta
modprobe wlan_scan_ap
modprobe wlan_tkip
modprobe wlan_ccmp
modprobe wlan_wep
modprobe wlan_xauth
modprobe wlan_acl
modprobe ath_pci countrycode=276 autocreate=none maxvaps=64
for i in `seq 1 64`; do wlanconfig ath$i create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap;
done
iwconfig ath1 chan 1
ifconfig ath1 up
ifconfig ath33 up
}}}
This works (or rather isn't working) with:[[BR]]
- maxvaps=34 to maxvaps=64[[BR]]
- "(iwconfig athx chan 1; ifconfig athx up)", where 1 <= x <= 32
followed by "ifconfig athy up", where 33 <= y <= 64
The resulting kernelpanic looks like:
{{{
