[patch snipped] It fixes the kernel panic with root "iwlist ath0 scan" but after that the network dies without a sign of any kind (iwlist, ifconfig etc is normal, nothing in logs). Tried several times. Boot -> ping local and remote machine OK -> "iwlist ath0 scan" -> ping nonfunctional: 'no route to host' or some such message. Sending you a picture of the panic in a personal letter. Don't know if it will do any good since only the last part is visible on screen. Taken outside of X in plain terminal. Tried to snap from inside X in both an xterm and a kterm but the panic message never reaches that high in the chain. Instant death! /Mats -- 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
