I've been seeing crashes when attempting to run an RT73 based device in ad-hoc mode (I'm using the rt2x00 git tree). I recently managed to capture the console output when it crashes and it all seems to point more to mac80211 than the rt2x00 driver so I thought I'd ask here. a) If anyone can see anything obvious wrong in the trace b) If anyone has recently tested ad-hoc mode with another driver and can confirm it works. The sequence of events that leads to the crash is iwconfig wlan1 mode ad-hoc ifconfig wlan1 192.168.0.230 iwconfig wlan1 channel 11 iwconfig wlan1 essid test then attempt a scan from another device. My guess is that the lockdep warning is caused by trying to lock something in which the actual lock object has become corrupted hence it shortly afterwards deadlocks.
