Yes, I have v478 also. However, I tried to build the latest wireless-testing tree, but I can't reproduce the error here. One thing I have noticed is that everyone so far with this error appears to have a HP or Dell laptop - I have tested with a custom-built desktop with an Asus motherboard. I will test my other 4312 in my Acer laptop later (I don't own a Dell or a HP). Could you describe the exact HW configuration of your system (including the BIOS type - my Acer has InsydeH2O, while my desktop is AMI-based)? Does the wl_hybrid driver work for you? (If it does work, please try building the latest compat-wireless for the kernel on which wl_hybrid worked, and post the results. Try the compat-wireless driver both on a cold boot and after wl_hybrid has been unloaded.) > >> Also try apic=off & acpi=off (IIRC another DMA error victim, but with >> error code 0x00000800 had ACPI clobbering his DMA). > > Ok, will try that separately. > >> Also, is there any reference to a failed channel switch in the log? > > Nope.
