Hi, This issue is confirmed here too. But during compile, there is warning about cancel_work_sync(), cancel_delayed_work_sync() should be used instead. And, without the modification in iwl3945_rfkill_poll() and iwl3945_mac_stop(), just with one line cancel_delayed_work_sync(), this issue is also fixed in my testing. Best regards Huaxu PS: The following is the log when iwl3945 was unloaded before patched. root@Januty-devel:~# modprobe -r iwl3945 [ 164.840610] iwl3945: U iwl3945_pci_remove *** UNLOAD DRIVER *** [ 164.846515] iwl3945: U __iwl3945_down iwl3945 is going down [ 164.852315] iwl3945: U iwl3945_hw_nic_stop_master stop master [ 164.858634] iwl3945: U iwl3945_clear_free_frames 0 frames on pre-allocated heap on clear.
