Ubuntu 12.04 Network Manager + compat/mac80211_hswim freeze

Hi,

I am having a weird problem. I am running Ubuntu 12.04 in Vbox
(4.2.16) on Ubuntu 12.04 host.

I have downloaded and compiled backports-3.11-rc3-1.

Then running these commands from backports directory a couple of times
make guest Ubuntu freeze.
"sudo rmmod mac80211_hwsim
sudo rmmod mac80211
sudo rmmod cfg80211
sudo rmmod compat
sudo insmod ./compat/compat.ko
sudo insmod ./net/wireless/cfg80211.ko
sudo insmod ./net/mac80211/mac80211.ko
sudo insmod ./drivers/net/wireless/mac80211_hwsim.ko"

Looking at /proc/kgsm does not show much, attaching file log.kmsg.

Looking at syslog instead I found this line just before the freeze
(Attaching syslog file.):
Aug  6 17:19:02 hatcher NetworkManager[884]: <info> found WiFi radio
killswitch rfkill6 (at
/sys/devices/virtual/mac80211_hwsim/hwsim0/ieee80211/phy0/rfkill6)
(driver (unknown))

So I tried to disable network manager and guest Ubuntu did not freeze at all!

Loading unloading stock modules from Ubuntu 12.04 did not freeze guest
Ubuntu, with following script:
"sudo rmmod mac80211_hwsim
sudo rmmod mac80211
sudo rmmod cfg80211
sudo modprobe cfg80211
sudo modprobe mac80211
sudo modprobe mac80211_hwsim"

So it seems that having Network manager with compat makes guest Ubuntu freeze.

This looks weird. Any ideas why? I even tried backports-3.10-2 same
issue with guest Ubuntu freeze.



Best Regards,
