So I finally managed to hit this on 2.6.29-rc3. It is hard to
reproduce, so I hope so much information is enough to give you a good
guess. This time it hit while trying to connect to an open network at
the airport.
WARNING: at net/mac80211/rx.c:2236 __ieee80211_rx+0x96/0x571 [mac80211]()
Hardware name: 2007CS3
RATE=255, BAND=8
band is supposed to be sc->curband? 8 is way wrong.
If you look into the patch which outputs this (backtrace in this
thread), sband->n_bitrates is 8. I have no idea what I have been smoking
the day I wrote it, but BAND= for sure isn't the right name for that
thing. Sorry for the confusion.
rate could be 255
if, for some reason, the hardware rate wasn't in the rate table.
So, we have a fix for this, right? I mean the u8->s8 sc->rate_idx
conversion or alike...
