Thread: caps lock blinking crash with madwifi.


hi,
have atheros ar5008x mini pci express card in dell studio 1535 laptop..am running ubuntu 8.10..

blacklisted ath9k driver , compiled n installed madwifi svn trunk...

getting error in

code:
/var/log/syslog   wifi0: ath_fatal_tasklet: hardware error; resetting.
anyone got idea above error??
wireless internet connection works fine amidst above error..

when try put card in monitor mode below steps:

code:
$sudo ifconfig ath0 down    $sudo wlanconfig ath0 destroy    $sudo wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode monitor
the output came "ath0"

checked mode using iwconfig command..it showed "monitor"

code:
$sudo ifconfig ath0 up
after few seconds caps lock led started blinking , ubuntu crashed..

repeated steps after rebooting , ended in same crash..

when tried put in "sta"(station) mode using wlanconfig didnt face crash..

want know whether crash due

1) ubuntu 8.10
2) madwifi driver
3) atheros ar5008x hardware

solved issue uninstallin madwifi latest svn version , installin "madwifi-hal-testing"..

no crash, no capslock blinking..monitor mode works fine..no errors in /var/log/syslog....
