Does this fix the panic? >From db22838dc34d211d8414577a30f5af69feb7da0a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bob Copeland <m...@bobcopeland.com> Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2009 09:21:38 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ath5k: fix buffer overrun in rate debug code char bname[5] is too small for the string "X GHz" when the null terminator is taken into account. Thus, turning on rate debugging can crash unless we have lucky stack alignment.
