This patchset is causing troubles here on a AR5212.
# lspci -nnvv | grep -i ath
02:02.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5212
802.11abg NIC [168c:1014] (rev 01)
Kernel driver in use: ath5k
With linux-next (next 20101203) I have to revert the 9 patches and
apply the 6 patches from Nick to regain a stable system (see P.S.
below).
First I thought this
Mega-Hyper-Super-Duper-Sexy-Hagawanga-We-have-waited-so-long-for patch
is the culprit...
$ grep sched setup_linux-next_next20101203.dileks.4.log
(+) OK linux-2.6-tip-sched-core/0001-sched-Add-autogroup-scheduling-feature-automated-per.patch
But this is not the fact for the audio dropouts I enjoyed again.
Then I had a closer look into linux-next GIT... My ath5k seems not to
be a good choice these days :-(.
