The backtraces come from "page allocation failure", not from any conditions in the ath9k driver. You have a lot of free swap, so I assume it's the non-swappable memory. This is also evidenced by lowmem_reserve: lowmem_reserve[]: 0 0 0 0 I haven't heard of any major memory leaks in ath9k, so I would not blame it on the driver unless you can show that you don't get that problem with another driver. In the future, please send kernel logs produced by the dmesg command. This will avoid the timestamps from syslogd (especially since you already have kernel timestamps) and it would ensure that no kernel messages are skipped by syslogd because of their low urgency. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin -- 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
