I get this WARN_ON now multiple times pre minute. Only the first few minutes after loading the firmware everything is okay and then it keeps filling my dmesg. And on top of that, I now see these: __ratelimit: 1189 callbacks suppressed iwlagn: Can not allocate SKB buffers iwlagn: Can not allocate SKB buffers iwlagn: Can not allocate SKB buffers iwlagn: Can not allocate SKB buffers iwlagn: Can not allocate SKB buffers iwlagn: Can not allocate SKB buffers iwlagn: Can not allocate SKB buffers iwlagn: Can not allocate SKB buffers iwlagn: Can not allocate SKB buffers iwlagn: Can not allocate SKB buffers __ratelimit: 57695 callbacks suppressed iwlagn: Can not allocate SKB buffers iwlagn: Can not allocate SKB buffers iwlagn: Can not allocate SKB buffers iwlagn: Can not allocate SKB buffers iwlagn: Can not allocate SKB buffers iwlagn: Can not allocate SKB buffers iwlagn: Can not allocate SKB buffers iwlagn: Can not allocate SKB buffers iwlagn: Can not allocate SKB buffers iwlagn: Can not allocate SKB buffers __ratelimit: 3345 callbacks suppressed iwlagn: Can not allocate SKB buffers iwlagn: Can not allocate SKB buffers What is going on here? This is a normal setup and nothing fancy. Access point is N-Capable from D-Link btw. Regards Marcel
