I was using wireless normally this evening. Browsing the web, that kind of thing, and then the wireless inexplicably dropped (even with the group rekeying patch), so I unloaded/reloaded the module. This popped up in dmesg: [ 3834.375658] vendor=8086 device=27d2 [ 3834.375666] ath9k 0000:03:00.0: PCI INT A disabled [ 3834.375716] ath9k: driver unloaded [ 3838.552419] ath9k: 0.1 [ 3838.552502] vendor=8086 device=27d2 [ 3838.552511] ath9k 0000:03:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 [ 3838.552532] ath9k 0000:03:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 [ 3838.688924] phy1: Selected rate control algorithm 'ath9k_rate_control' [ 3838.693652] phy1: Atheros 5416: mem=0xffffc20000060000, irq=17 [ 3839.427125] irq 17: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) [ 3839.427136] Pid: 0, comm: swapper Tainted: P 2.6.27-rc6-tip-00478-g74f1a36 #1 [ 3839.427141] Call Trace: [ 3839.427145] <IRQ> [<ffffffff802219c5>] ? read_hpet+0x9/0x1c [ 3839.427165] [<ffffffff8026af71>] __report_bad_irq+0x3d/0x8c [ 3839.427172] [<ffffffff8026b0c6>] note_interrupt+0x106/0x160 [ 3839.427180] [<ffffffff8026b801>] handle_fasteoi_irq+0xad/0xda [ 3839.427188] [<ffffffff8020f7b0>] do_IRQ+0x10c/0x190 [ 3839.427194] [<ffffffff8020c551>] ret_from_intr+0x0/0xa [ 3839.427198] <EOI> [<ffffffff8026c6f0>] rcu_pending+0x62/0x6e [ 3839.427211] [<ffffffff8025bc11>] ? tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick+0x2e4/0x2f3 [ 3839.427218] [<ffffffff8020ad94>] cpu_idle+0x7b/0xdb [ 3839.427226] [<ffffffff8060c921>] rest_init+0x75/0x77 [ 3839.427231] handlers: [ 3839.427234] [<ffffffffa0240238>] (ath_isr+0x0/0x170 [ath9k]) [ 3839.427263] Disabling IRQ #17 [ 3842.263699] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready [ 3848.035003] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready [ 3848.432701] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready [ 3850.216947] wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:1e:52:79:4d:01 [ 3850.217027] wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:1e:52:79:4d:01 [ 3850.228326] wlan0: authenticated [ 3850.228336] wlan0: associate with AP 00:1e:52:79:4d:01 [ 3850.428140] wlan0: associate with AP 00:1e:52:79:4d:01 [ 3850.628151] wlan0: associate with AP 00:1e:52:79:4d:01 [ 3850.728305] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:1e:52:79:4d:01 (capab=0x431 status=0 aid=1) [ 3850.728314] wlan0: associated [ 3850.728655] wlan0 (WE) : Wireless Event too big (320) [ 3850.743377] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready [ 3860.855104] wlan0: no IPv6 routers present I rebuilt the module with DBG_ATH_INTERRUPT, but it somehow stumbled itself back into working order while I was compiling. I can't keep the interrupt debugging on all the time because it's just -too verbose-, and when I pop a debug version of the module in, then it's too late to track the issue.... - Steven -- 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
