This time I was able to rmmod ath9k once but it crashed on rmload ath9k. I also had a freeze while booting up. That was on AC power. With this version, running on battery power seems to greatly reduce the chances of a crash, if not prevent it altogether. I had noticed this on previous stock kernels, but recent ones crash on battery power too. _______________________________________________ ath9k-devel mailing list ath9k-devel@lists.ath9k.org https://lists.ath9k.org/mailman/listinfo/ath9k-devel
