Two CM9 devices are causing madwifi 0.9.4 to crash

Reported by: JaFojtik@seznam.cz Assigned to:
Priority: minor Milestone:
Component: madwifi: other Version: v0.9.4
Keywords: CM9, crash Cc:
Patch is attached: 0 Pending: 0

Description

It is interesting that CM9 and TL-WN560G are working seamlessly together with a same configuration. They have a different atheros chipsets and it could be a source of problem.

This report looks like #2317, but it could be different. Just discard it, if it is a duplicity.

I have used: madwifi-0.9.4

The output of dmesg:

I have found that when I set autocreate none:

/sbin/modprobe ath_pci autocreate=none countrycode=203 outdoor=1 rfkill=0

and the ath interfaces are build in rc.local after complete initialization, everything seems to work fine. No idea what was going on.
