Long time no see! I think ath5k froze once again. I have been with the latest kernel 2.6.31-17 for quite some time. I know that ath5k was known not like my wireless device for some time. Recently, I thought it changed... Well I did not have obvious problems/hangs using the wireless interface. A problem occurred when the ethernet was used. What I had was a machine hang happened according to the kernlog around 3am, when I was asleep. Here is what I subsequently found in the log: Jan 12 03:54:51 jenshen kernel: [218922.914225] wlan0: Creating new IBSS network, BSSID 02:0c:7e:7c:79:7a Jan 12 03:54:53 jenshen kernel: [218925.000046] wlan0: Trigger new scan to find an IBSS to join Jan 12 03:54:56 jenshen kernel: [218927.988070] wlan0: Trigger new scan to find an IBSS to join Jan 12 03:54:59 jenshen kernel: [218930.989267] wlan0: Trigger new scan to find an IBSS to join Jan 12 03:55:00 jenshen kernel: [218931.914443] wlan0: Creating new IBSS network, BSSID c2:df:cf:48:12:52 Jan 12 03:55:02 jenshen kernel: [218934.002002] wlan0: Trigger new scan to find an IBSS to join Jan 12 03:55:05 jenshen kernel: [218936.988074] wlan0: Trigger new scan to find an IBSS to join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an 12 07:15:23 jenshen kernel: imklog 4.2.0, log source = /var/run/rsyslog/kmsg started.
