Greg, please consider applying 15b812f1d0 to stable 2.6.31 as it fixes an issue introduced on 2.6.31 and only fixed now for 2.6.32. This should fix an issue when loading either sky2 or ath9k on some specific platforms. The details for the ath9k debugging are available on this bug: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14402 Luis -- 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
