After upgrading to the masked madwifi-driver-01_pre20051111 (I know it's testing and masked and everything) I start the ath0 init script via /etc/init.d/net.ath0 start and this happens: * Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ] * Starting ath0 * Running preup function /etc/conf.d/net: line 6: 12988 Segmentation fault /sbin/wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta After that the whole system gets somewhat flaky; when rebooting it hangs at brining down lo0, for example. The old driver (ebuild 20050420) doesn't work for me anymore with wpa_supplicant, just times out everytime, no matter what I do, so I upgraded (had the 20050809 ebuild working fine until yesterday, but after a sync it was gone and replaced by the 20051111). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add to package.keywords /etc/portage/package.keywords: ... =net-wireless/madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20051111 ~x86 =net-wireless/madwifi-tools-0.1_pre20051111 ~x86 ... 2. Unmask /etc/portage/package.unmask: =net-wireless/madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20051111 =net-wireless/madwifi-tools-0.1_pre20051111 3. Emerge the new driver: emerge -v =net-wireless/madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20051111 net-wireless/madwifi-tools-0.1_pre20051111 4. Edit /etc/conf.d/net preup() { if [ "${IFACE}" = "ath0" ]; then /sbin/wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta return $? fi } postdown() { if [ "${IFACE}" = "ath0" ]; then /sbin/wlanconfig ath0 destroy return $? fi } config_eth0=( "dhcp" ) modules_eth0=( "ifconfig" ) modules_ath0=( "wpa_supplicant" ) wpa_supplicant_ath0="-Dmadwifi" preferred_aps=( "one_working_ssid" ) associate_order="forcepreferredonly" mode_ath0="managed" 5. Load the modules via modprobe ath_pci Sidenote: hotplug/net.agent says: kernel: net.agent[12455]: add event not handled That's not the problem though, obviously it means that hotplug can't yet handle the start of /etc/init.d/net.ath0 by itself, yes? 6. Start the init script: /etc/init.d/net.ath0 start Actual Results: * Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ] * Starting ath0 * Running preup function /etc/conf.d/net: line 6: 12988 Segmentation fault /sbin/wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta Expected Results: Create ath0, bring it up to be configured by wpa_supplicant (or iwconfig, depending).

Created attachment 73021 [details] Stack trace of the segfault
Portage does not unmerge files in /lib/modules/ at the moment The amrr module is only present in the old madwifi snapshots. So you have to delete the amrr module yourself in /lib/modules. find /lib/modules -name "*amrr*"
