Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Still care about our brcmsmac driver, but I can only work one issue at a time. > > On Thu, Jan 12, 2012 at 8:32 PM, Francis Moreau <francis.moro@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> Hello, >> >> I'm facing a new issue after upgrading from 3.1 to 3.2. >> >> It happens when switching on/off my wireless card (BCM4313 [14e4:4727]). >> >> Here's the oops I'm getting: >> >> [36370.370768] WARNING: at net/mac80211/rx.c:2979 Did this problem occur with plain 3.2 kernel. I checked out the v3.2 mainline tag and looked at line 2979:ieee80211_rx(): 2975: /* 2976: * The same happens when we're not even started, 2977: * but that's worth a warning. 2978: */ 2979: if (WARN_ON(!local->started)) 2980: goto drop; >> ieee80211_rx+0x91b/0x9e0 [mac80211]() >> [36370.370775] Hardware name: Vostro 3500 >> [36370.370870] Pid: 0, comm: swapper/0 Tainted: G WC O 3.2.0 I guess brcmsmac is sending up a received wireless packet to mac80211 and it is dropped, because mac80211 did not yet call the start callback. It is just a warning so if you are having problems connecting to an AP you may have other issues. As the comment states it is worth a warning so I will look further into this. Gr.
