All I have to do is 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop'. And here we go: Sep 8 22:50:11 nickolas kernel: [events/1:7]: Changing netdevice name from [ath0] to [\200^C^B?\206] Does not look like an userspace issue at all... Last kernel which is known to be working (for me) is 2.6.18-rc1-mm2. Sorry, I now that a lot of things had changed since then, but I was somewhat busy last couple of months... Please let me know if I can help somehow to debug it. Thank you, Nick Orlov. P.S. I admit that I'm using "binary only atheros driver" which makes this report a lot less legit. But seems like people experiencing the very same issue w/o any closed-source drivers loaded... P.P.S I don't even have NetworkManager executable on my system (Debian unstable updated on daily basis), so NetworkManager have nothing to do with it. -- With best wishes, Nick Orlov. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
