In trying to track down a WARNING reported while using p54usb as the basis for an AP (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13725), I created an AP using hostapd 0.6.8. It worked fine as long as I used a Linux client. I ran repeated tcpperf runs through it to my server, and repeated installations of b43 firmware. That routine uses wget to pull the driver files. The only machine I had available as a client does not include X, so I could not run a browser. All went well until I had a Windows Vista client connect to the network. As soon as I launched a browser, the kernel on the AP crashed. The kernel in question is 2.6.31-rc7-Linus-00012-g3edf2fb from the mainline tree. I do not know the reported reason for the panic, as that scrolls off the screen. The traceback shows the error to be in __ieee80211_tx in this statement: ret = drv_tx(local, skb), which makes the problem be here: static inline int drv_tx(struct ieee80211_local *local, struct sk_buff *skb) { return local->ops->tx(&local->hw, skb); } Are there any suggest changes that would let me debug this problem without crashing the kernel?
