So you are saying that you didn't experience the bug back in September, when the driver first appeared in compat-wireless? Have you tried to "git bisect" the panic then. > The kernel panic does not happen always, and it seems to happen more > frequently when I try to connect to the network and my signal is not > very good. If I sit right next to the AP, I never get any panics. The > panic happens right when I'm connecting (network-manager is still > displaying a spinning icon). Unrelated but I hope you're running a recent network-manager version and you've "locked" the AP bssid. Otherwise you might experience serve link problems due to "expensive" background scans. > My hardware is the TP-Link TL-WN821N v2 and I'm running kernel 2.6.36-rc8. What carl9170 firmware are you using? > Backtrace is in attached picture. The backtrace is a bit clipped (I would love to see what happens before the bug too). But what I can say is that it didn't crash in the driver itself. Maybe the problem could be solved by a kernel update (isn't 2.6.36-rc8 now nearly a month old?), or at least it could produce a "better" backtrace?!
