#1835: Card stops working and ksoftirqd_CPU0 uses all CPU -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Type: defect Status: new | Priority: minor Component: madwifi: other | Version: Keywords: | Patch_attached: 0 -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Several times a day, the Atheros card stops working and ksoftirqd_CPU0 starts using all CPU. Traffic doesn't seem to affect this (much). The PC doesn't crash, though, and the problem can be resolved by doing ifdown ath0 && sleep 10 && ifup ath0. It hangs sooner if I remove the delay.
There is nothing in syslog. The only parameters set are: mode AP, essid, restricted wep key and channel (2.4GHz) and the interface is added to a bridge. Kernel is version 2.4.25 with MOSIX, hostap, ppscsi and ITE8212 patches. Distribution Debian 3.1. Machine is Pentium PRO. Card vendor is Well. Driver versions below. There are also 2 3com NICs and an ITE IDE controller on the PCI bus and another 3com, a sound card and a video card on ISA, but I've double- checked the machine for any conflicts. The radio environment is rather noisy. Perhaps I should mention that the PCI bus is ver 2.1 and I'm using a computer quality DC-DC converter to supply 3.3V to the card. But even if it's a non-standard setup, I think that the driver should either honourably crash or catch and fix the error. Thanks in advance for a resolution and I'll be glad to help debug the problem. wondra ath_hal: 0.9.18.0 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413, RF5413) wlan: 0.9.4 ath_pci: 0.9.4 ath_rate_sample: 1.2 (0.9.4) wifi0: 11a rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps wifi0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps wifi0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps wifi0: turboG rates: 6Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps wifi0: H/W encryption support: WEP AES AES_CCM TKIP wifi0: mac 10.5 phy 6.1 radio 6.3 wifi0: Use hw queue 1 for WME_AC_BE traffic wifi0: Use hw queue 0 for WME_AC_BK traffic wifi0: Use hw queue 2 for WME_AC_VI traffic wifi0: Use hw queue 3 for WME_AC_VO traffic wifi0: Use hw queue 8 for CAB traffic wifi0: Use hw queue 9 for beacons wifi0: Atheros 5212: mem=0xe0000000, irq=10 -- Ticket URL: <http://madwifi.org/ticket/1835> madwifi.org <http://madwifi.org/> Multiband Atheros Driver for Wireless Fidelity ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
