Hi,

I'm currently running 2.6.38-rc6, and if I boot with my WIFI switch
set to off position, the system freezes entirely when bringing up the
wlan0 interface.

There's no trace so I don't really know how I can help to debug this further.

Thanks

Hi Greg,

A while ago I submitted a patch for this issue and it was marked as new functionality so only to be included in the staging-next branch. However, as the system freezes without this patch it might be a good idea to submit the patch for staging-linus branch as well to include it in linus tree. Do you agree? If so I will prepare a backported version of the patch and send it to you.
