Hi Michal,
my kernel is tainted with madwifi opensource driver :). Only binary part is
ath_hal module, which doesn't have anythink to do with this part of kernel.
Ath_hal is doing RF part of card to protect others tune/transmit in other
frequency than 2.5/5.8GHz (Wifi 802.11a/b/g).
My kernel is 100% opensource :)
And BTW this happens also with madwifi kernel modules unloaded.
Best regards
Michal
