This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux major release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Major release. This request is not yet committed for inclusion. What is fips mode? How to enable it? FWIW, this likely results from some failed clean-up after ieee80211_register_hw fails... renamed, because i noticed this on iwlagn with john's test kernel FWIW, I think this actually is ath9k-specific. The similar behavior on iwlagn was actually caused by the 1st fix attempt in bug 608704. After fixing that issue, I was still able to get this ath9k failure. I'll attach a pic of the failure on my local machine. Created attachment 430156 [details]

Note that this is without the fix to allow FIPS mode to work (but with the fix that allows rmmod of iwlagn) -- with that in place I suspect this won't happen at all.

jwltest-ath9k-cleanup-init-error-path.patch
verified with adapters, where i detected. rmmod iwlagn and ath9k works as expected Patch(es) available on kernel-2.6.32-52.el6 Jiri, Could you please retest so we can close this? Or you can alternatively write here hostname where we can retest. thanks, Vlad tested on frankenstein-wifi-01.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com, it has several types of wireless devices. Tested with all of them under fips enabled system. rt61pci,rt73usb, ath5k, ath9k, rtl8180, rtl8187 looks good -> VERIFIED Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 is now available and should resolve the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. |
