I'm having a wireless problem that I think it the kernel. kernel-2.6.36.4 is good but recent kernels are bad. CompatWireless (recent wireless code) works on kernel-2.6.36.4 so I don't think it is the wireless subsystem.. I have a Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5008 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01). "iwlist wlan0 scan | grep SSID" under kernel-2.6.36.4 returns ~15 APs and associates to my AP. Recent kernels are bad and return ~0-3 APs and do not associate to my AP. I need help to debug this. I think the scans fail whenever dmesg shows this: > ath: Failed to stop TX DMA in 100 msec after killing last frame > ath: Failed to stop TX DMA! It seems to be 100% if I boot a kernel and that message is there, it'll be a bad kernel. I tried: $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.37.y.git $ cd linux-2.6.37.y # git tag What tag is 2.6.36.4? v2.6.36 v2.6.36-rc1 v2.6.36-rc2 v2.6.36-rc3 v2.6.36-rc4 v2.6.36-rc5 v2.6.36-rc6 v2.6.36-rc7 v2.6.36-rc8 v2.6.37 v2.6.37-rc1 v2.6.37-rc2 v2.6.37-rc3 v2.6.37-rc4 v2.6.37-rc5 v2.6.37-rc6 v2.6.37-rc7 v2.6.37-rc8 v2.6.37.1 v2.6.37.2 v2.6.37.3 v2.6.37.4 v2.6.37.5 v2.6.37.6 Is the next step to do: $ git bisect start $ git bisect good v2.6.36.4 $ git bisect bad v2.6.37.6 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
