That bug is known, and Johannes already picked up my fix for it: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/jberg/mac80211.git/commit/?id=5c9fc93bc9bc417418fc1b6366833ae6a07b804d Enabling CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_MINSTREL_HT will indeed completely get rid of the crash. - Felix -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
