Please apply this patch: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/linville/wireless-2.6/0002-mac80211-avoid-NULL-ptr-deref-when-finding-max_rate.patch A pull request was sent to Dave M. a couple of days ago. I imagine that it will make its way to Linus shortly. John -- John W. Linville Someday the world will need a hero, and you linville@tuxdriver.com might be all we have. Be ready.
