Hi,

I am getting the following warning from the latest wireless-testing system:

   ------------[ cut here ]------------
   WARNING: at net/mac80211/iface.c:162 ieee80211_check_queues+0x119/0x130
[mac80211]()


       if (WARN_ON_ONCE(sdata->vif.hw_queue[i]>= n_queues))

The warning is triggered for i, n_queues, and sdata->vif.hw_queue[i] all equal to 1.

Is this a driver with just a single queue by any chance? I never tested
that and probably forgot to set those up correctly.


The bug report Larry mentions is with iwlwifi driver:

pci, iwlwifi, NETWORK, Centrino Wireless-N 130 BGN

No, the bug report says rtl8187, the user said this happened when
plugging in the USB device.

I think this will fix it:

Yes, this patch fixes the problem.

Once you post the patch, I will update that entry at bugzilla.redhat.com.

Thanks,

Larry
