I'm just doing random tentative debugging :) For now, I've found out that my iwl3945 SW Microcode crashes when you, having disable_hw_scan = 0, do an "iw dev wlan0 scan passive" but not if you do an active scan. I've also found out that if I limit the frequencies to channel 48 (you can check the frequencies you use by doing "iwlist f" ) no crash occurs. I don't know if I'll be able to code something at the driver --probably not -- but at least I can document the workaround to allow hardware scanning to be enabled. In my case I believe the software scan messes the card performance; however after looking at some of the source code I believe there are at least two "different" cards called iwl3945 or, if to believe on PCI IDS differentiation, 4 or 5, so one card's issue may differ from another's. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
