Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
I am experiencing this error, probably twice a day, after recently
updating my kernel and compiling svn revision 3358 of the madwifi drivers:
wifi0: ath_rxorn_tasklet: Receive FIFO overrun; resetting.
as mentioned above, unloading/reloading the module solves the problem (in
my case anyway), and sometimes have to do a full reboot.
This is on Debian Sid, 2.6.24.1-686 kernel on a MacBook (2nd Gen).
The updated kernel had kernel patches for CVE-2008-0009, CVE-2008-0010,
CVE-2008-0600. It may be worth checking whether these fixes have caused
the issue, as they would have been universally adopted/released by most
linux distro's to solve the recently discovered local root exploit bug.
It seems to me the problem is either with the above mentioned kernel
patches or with svn revision 3358.
