There is a clear regression from kernel 2.6.25.3-18.fc9.x86_64 to 2.6.25.4-30.fc9.x86_64. Here are the module srcversions for both kernels respectively: | 2.6.25.3-18.fc9.x86_64 2.6.25.4-30.fc9.x86_64 ---------------------------------------------------------- ath5k | 18908C2E600D9B437533B8C 5A711CFF69D9C2D6F93EE16 mac80211 | 0EB6E0DB88CA57CF73FF929 51709970CD733D92F93CD45 cfg80211 | F8516B9136CFABD233613B9 2F73EEBB2DE4F1D785951D4 The regression has been pinned down further to kernel 2.6.25.4-26.fc9 and later ones. From the changelog: * Mon May 19 2008 John W. Linville <linville> 2.6.25.4-26 - Re-sync wireless bits w/ current upstream Apart from the issues describes in the original report, I do also observe intermittent crashes when connecting to the SSH server. In a first time, I thought this was related to the new glibc-2.8.90 but for kernels < 2.6.25.4-26.fc9, they simply do not occur. Here is an example of what I get from dmesg after ssh has returned "segmentation fault" to the shell: ssh[2893]: segfault at 3 ip f063a9 sp 7fff0f00a260 error 4 in libresolv-2.8.90.so[efe000+12000] *** Bug 447752 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I see the same problems, but I don't think it's ath5k related, as I see the problems with p54 driver as well. I think it happened between 2.6.26-rc2 and 2.6.26-rc3 (in this case both mainline kernels from Linus). No improvement for kernel-2.6.26-0.33.rc4.fc10.x86_64. Fixed in kernel 2.6.26-0.37.rc4.fc10.x86_64 with module versions ath5k : 4ABA5AC1C9F2345308D07B0 mac80211: 878E64070833DC29F41447C cfg80211: 2564D4FCC44D681E29221F0 |
