Today I saw something similar with stlc45xx and wireless-testing:
[11723.959442] kernel BUG at net/mac80211/rate.c:239!
And the BUG_ON() is this:
/*
* try to enforce the maximum rate the user wanted
*/
if (sdata->max_ratectrl_rateidx > -1)
for (i = 0; i < IEEE80211_TX_MAX_RATES; i++) {
if (info->control.rates[i].flags & IEEE80211_TX_RC_MCS)
continue;
info->control.rates[i].idx =
min_t(s8, info->control.rates[i].idx,
sdata->max_ratectrl_rateidx);
}
BUG_ON(info->control.rates[0].idx < 0);
}
My AP was hostapd+b43 with latest wireless-testing running on a
laptop, naturally in infrastructure more. stlc45xx was connected to
the AP and I was pinging the AP. stlc45xx was running on Nokia N800
with 2.6.29-rc8-omap1-wl (recent linux-omap with latest
wireless-testing on top of that).
I was adding short preamble support for transmitted frames to
stlc45xx. so I might have done something stupid. I have seen this only
once, but I will report if I see it again.
Here are the logs:
