I hope you don't mind me asking a related question here and not trying to hijack this thread. I have an old laptop which has no wireless and am using a Dlink GWL-G650 card - ath5k just crashes the kernel... so I installed madwifi 0.9.3.3 and started wpa_supplicant up which works fine, and then did dhclient ath0 which worked fine also. So now I have a lovely working connection - BUT ... ... within a minute I get a loud beep and messages on the screen such as: Message from syslogd@lapmike1 at Nov 20 21:16:43 ... kernel: Disabling IRQ #11 Nov 20 21:16:43 lapmike1 kernel: irq 11: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) Nov 20 21:16:43 lapmike1 kernel: [<c045b106>] __report_bad_irq+0x36/0x75 Nov 20 21:16:43 lapmike1 kernel: [<c045b31c>] note_interrupt+0x1d7/0x213 Nov 20 21:16:43 lapmike1 kernel: [<c045a7a3>] handle_IRQ_event+0x23/0x51 Nov 20 21:16:43 lapmike1 kernel: [<c045bc4b>] handle_level_irq+0x88/0xb9 Nov 20 21:16:43 lapmike1 kernel: [<c045bbc3>] handle_level_irq+0x0/0xb9 Nov 20 21:16:43 lapmike1 kernel: [<c04074c3>] do_IRQ+0x8c/0xb9 Nov 20 21:16:43 lapmike1 kernel: [<c0405b6f>] common_interrupt+0x23/0x28 Nov 20 21:16:43 lapmike1 kernel: [<c0431df0>] __do_softirq+0x50/0xd3 Nov 20 21:16:43 lapmike1 kernel: [<c04073d5>] do_softirq+0x6c/0xce Nov 20 21:16:43 lapmike1 kernel: [<c045bbc3>] handle_level_irq+0x0/0xb9 Nov 20 21:16:43 lapmike1 kernel: [<c0431cc9>] irq_exit+0x38/0x6b Nov 20 21:16:43 lapmike1 kernel: [<c04074d6>] do_IRQ+0x9f/0xb9 Nov 20 21:16:43 lapmike1 kernel: [<c0407ec1>] do_syscall_trace+0x4b/0xde Nov 20 21:16:43 lapmike1 kernel: [<c0405b6f>] common_interrupt+0x23/0x28 Nov 20 21:16:43 lapmike1 kernel: [<c0610000>] xfrm_parse_spi+0x3c/0xc8 Nov 20 21:16:43 lapmike1 kernel: ======================= Nov 20 21:16:43 lapmike1 kernel: ======================= Nov 20 21:16:43 lapmike1 kernel: handlers: Nov 20 21:16:43 lapmike1 kernel: [<c05760b2>] (yenta_interrupt+0x0/0xb4) Nov 20 21:16:43 lapmike1 kernel: [<c05760b2>] (yenta_interrupt+0x0/0xb4) Nov 20 21:16:43 lapmike1 kernel: [<c057ae00>] (usb_hcd_irq+0x0/0x4e) Nov 20 21:16:43 lapmike1 kernel: [<c057ae00>] (usb_hcd_irq+0x0/0x4e) Nov 20 21:16:43 lapmike1 kernel: [<f09b48da>] (irq_handler+0x0/0x19c [firewire_ohci]) Nov 20 21:16:43 lapmike1 kernel: [<f0c356f3>] (ath_intr+0x0/0x1309 [ath_pci]) Nov 20 21:16:43 lapmike1 kernel: Disabling IRQ #11 Nov 20 21:16:43 lapmike1 kernel: wifi0: hardware error; resetting Nov 20 21:16:43 lapmike1 kernel: wifi0: ath_reset: unable to reset hardware: 'Hardware didn't respond as expected' (HAL status 3) I tried madwifi-ng from subversion and it essentially did the same. I used version 0.9.3.2 and it did the same. There are kernel parameters that can change the irq behaviour - and I have tried irqpoll which causes problems, also noapic, nolapic, noirqdebug, irqfixup and various combinations and it makes no difference. Anyone give me any pointers to a workaround.
