Please give a detailed description of how this problem can be reproduced. What steps did you perform before (loading modules, running wlanconfig, configuring ath0 (how), ...)? Does it show up only with a special chain of commands, or every time you run ifconfig ath0 up?

looks similar to my ticket: http://www.madwifi.org/ticket/94

@ronni: Ack. @reporter: please try the suggestion from #94 ("load wlan_scan_sta") and let us know if it works.

ok, loadin wlan_scan_sta first does actually help. it happened everytime i used ifconfig after wlanconfig ... . I didnt extend #94 because backtrace was looking pretty different. Maybe a small note in README would help, or force the module to load first? This ticket can be closed as fixed i guess.

Thanks for your feedback, Volker. I'll mark this ticket as duplicate and close it, since this tickets describe the same problem as #94.

Won't add a note to the README, since this doesn't solve the original problem. Rather the driver should be fixed to not causing such problems on systems that don't make use of CONFIG_KMOD. This probably also applies to other parts of the driver as well.
