haven't managed to capture the panic yet (no serial on my laptop), but
I'll post it as soon as I can.
Laptop is a turion running in 64-bit mode. Card is:
02:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One
54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
Well, I've been unable to capture the panic in any useful format. I
have pictures of the screen, if that's going to help anyone. Here's a
summary:
NULL pointer at
8808fcaf{:bcm43xx:bcm43xx_dma_handle_xmitstatus+623}
wtf? I _really_ would like to see the oops.
sounds like the cookie got corrupted...

Preempt
process 6139 (iwconfig) Not tainted
Call trace:

FWIW, while trying to reproduce this, I rebuilt with all kernel debug
options, and got a sleeping function called from invalid context oops
after the actual panic. The top bcm43xx function was the same (with
same offset) as the above panic.

I haven't managed to capture the panic yet (no serial on my laptop), but I'll post it as soon as I can. It might be worth a try loading the module with pio=1. PIO mode is not supported on 4318. However, it shouldn't panic, so go ahead and post more info. :) -- Ciao Stefano ___ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list Bcm43xx-dev@lists.berlios.de http://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
