Recently I get a kernel oops in nightly test on the wireless-testing tree (see below). This is on 3.5-rc4 kernel based on following commit: commit a5b846deb890fbea72267e4e7d98f8f022959d14 Merge: 1532e30 bf52592 Author: John W. Linville <linville@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Jun 27 16:15:29 2012 -0400 Merge branch 'master' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linvi Can this be expected (eg. recent change in struct wiphy) ? I will built a new kernel from wireless-testing and see if that helps. Gr.
