Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
There should be no kernel panic, if there is, it is most likely bug in
driver, which should be and most likely will be fixed. Please provide
output from crash - see ht_tp://madwifi.org/wiki/DevDocs/KernelOops for
details.
Rx fifo overrun - there is probably some bug in driver which is causing
problems here, it sometimes is not harmful - i got it on many many
machines over network time to time and it is harmless there - it seems it
only cause problems on SMP systems. Again, if there is kernel oops/panic
on your machine , there is most likely bug in driver code and bug like
that has to be traced and squashed, so provide devs with info about it.
Countrycode - if you have non-0 regdomain in your card eeprom, most of
countrycodes will not work with hal error - because in most cases
countrycode will not be within regdomain and you will have set appropriate
- but in some cases of course not right - countrycode. Aka regdomain in
your card eeprom is FCC, you will not be able to use european countrycodes
and etc. .
MIMO - that and all 802.11n issues are really HAL issues and we have to
wait till Atheros provide us with something for madwifi - new HAL with
support for this stuff, or focus on developing ath5k, or both.
