I would never recommend using netconsole to debug a hang in a network driver. Chances are too high that the hang will block the network stack and prevent the most interesting data from leaving the system. Besides, it's one thing to debug something that is easy to reproduce and that is known to show up on the netconsole. It's another thing to debug something that may not appear on any console after hours of waiting. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ ath9k-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ath9k.org/mailman/listinfo/ath9k-devel
