Hi there, I get this Jun 18 16:43:51 b43 kernel: [ 21.152097] ssb: Core 0 found: ChipCommon (cc 0x800, rev 0x0D, vendor 0x4243) Jun 18 16:43:51 b43 kernel: [ 21.152113] ssb: Core 1 found: IEEE 802.11 (cc 0x812, rev 0x09, vendor 0x4243) Jun 18 16:43:51 b43 kernel: [ 21.152122] ssb: Core 2 found: PCI (cc 0x804, rev 0x0C, vendor 0x4243) Jun 18 16:43:51 b43 kernel: [ 21.152132] ssb: Core 3 found: PCMCIA (cc 0x80D, rev 0x07, vendor 0x4243) it should be a rev.9 core. Well, I got it running in monitor mode, I clear saw tcpdump doing its work. But I think Michael is right, just after a while it crashed: before doing that syslog filled up with [ 1213.209871] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 1213.209878] WARNING: at drivers/net/wireless/b43/xmit.c:49 b43_rx +0x1a5/0x630 [b43]() [ 1213.209880] Modules linked in: b43 rfkill_input arc4 ecb crypto_blkcipher rfkill mac80211 cfg80211 input_polldev af_packet radeon drm speedstep_lib cpufreq_stats cpufreq_ondemand freq_table cpufreq_powersave cpufreq_userspace cpufreq_conservative container sbs sbshc loop serio_raw psmouse pcspkr usbhid hid ssb battery asus_laptop led_class ac button sis_agp agpgart evdev xfs ide_disk ide_cd_mod cdrom ata_generic pata_sis libata dock floppy skge ehci_hcd ohci_hcd usbcore sis5513 ide_core thermal processor fan fuse [last unloaded: b43] [ 1213.209926] Pid: 0, comm: swapper Tainted: G W 2.6.26-rc6-wl #1 [ 1213.209931] [] warn_on_slowpath+0x5f/0x90 [ 1213.209947] [] enqueue_task+0x12/0x30 [ 1213.209955] [] activate_task+0x24/0x40 [ 1213.209963] [] __wake_up_common+0x3e/0x70 [ 1213.209973] [] sock_def_readable+0x41/0x50 [ 1213.209980] [] sock_queue_rcv_skb+0xa1/0xe0 [ 1213.209986] [] udp_queue_rcv_skb+0xb0/0x280 [ 1213.209997] [] ssb_pci_read32+0x1c/0x60 [ssb] [ 1213.210010] [] __slab_alloc+0xa2/0x410 [ 1213.210016] [] __ieee80211_rx_handle_packet+0x5e0/0x7b0 [mac80211] [ 1213.210038] [] b43_rx+0x1a5/0x630 [b43] [ 1213.210050] [] b43_chip_init+0xa10/0xa20 [b43] [ 1213.210059] [] op32_fill_descriptor+0x45/0xe0 [b43] [ 1213.210077] [] b43_dma_rx+0x16e/0x400 [b43] [ 1213.210097] [] b43_interrupt_tasklet+0x378/0x910 [b43] [ 1213.210106] [] enqueue_task+0x12/0x30 [ 1213.210111] [] activate_task+0x24/0x40 [ 1213.210126] [] tasklet_action+0x34/0x70 [ 1213.210131] [] __do_softirq+0x42/0x90 [ 1213.210136] [] do_softirq+0x27/0x30 [ 1213.210139] [] irq_exit+0x45/0x60 [ 1213.210142] [] do_IRQ+0x39/0x70 [ 1213.210151] [] common_interrupt+0x23/0x30 [ 1213.210162] [] acpi_idle_enter_simple+0x16e/0x1db [processor] [ 1213.210177] [] acpi_idle_enter_bm+0xb7/0x2a2 [processor] [ 1213.210187] [] cpuidle_idle_call+0x68/0xa0 [ 1213.210193] [] cpuidle_idle_call+0x0/0xa0 [ 1213.210197] [] cpu_idle+0x24/0x70 [ 1213.210206] ======================= [ 1213.210209] ---[ end trace 4d6796847711ea43 ]--- repeated hundreds of time.
