It was working fine until I did an "emerge -v --update --deep world" this weekend. I also did a "genkernel --menuconfig all" and enabled almost everything in the iptables section preparing to configure firewall on host. Now system boots fine, ath0 looks good until I try to give it an IP either with ifconfig or dhcpcd. I get a segmentation fault and then ifconfig -a locks up. I am running 2.6.8-gentoo-r3 on an IBM thinkpad T41 with internal atheros a/b/g wireless card. Please let me know if there is any additional info you need. I am a gentoo noob but have been using various flavors of linux for 5-6 years. dmesg output from seg fault: skput:over: e1a1238a:21 put:21 dev:<NULL>------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at net/core/skbuff.c:91! invalid operand: 0000 [#1] Modules linked in: snd_pcm_oss snd_mixer_oss ohci_hcd snd_intel8x0 snd_ac97_codec snd_pcm snd_timer snd_page_alloc gameport snd_mpu401_uart snd_rawmidi snd_seq_device snd uhci_hcd intel_agp agpgart ath_pci wlan ath_hal e1000 sbp2 ohci1394 ieee1394 usb_storage ehci_hcd usbcore CPU: 0 EIP: 0060:[<c035c759>] Tainted: P EFLAGS: 00210206 (2.6.8-gentoo-r3) EIP is at skb_over_panic+0x29/0x40 eax: 0000002c ebx: d8533900 ecx: dece10e0 edx: c0414338 esi: 00000150 edi: 00000015 ebp: dee5a3ac esp: d5f79d84 ds: 007b es: 007b ss: 0068 Process ifconfig (pid: 12374, threadinfo=d5f78000 task=df8bd8b0) Stack: c03fd154 e1a1238a 00000015 00000015 c03e22cb e1a12392 d8533900 00000015 e1a1238a 00000000 00000000 df2dd000 e1a0da3c d5f79dcc 00000015 00000000 e19c3c25 c1788000 dee5a000 dee5a06c 00000001 dee5a3ac dee5a3ac e1a0eba0 Call Trace: [<e1a1238a>] ieee80211_getmgtframe+0xaa/0xd0 [wlan] [<e1a12392>] ieee80211_getmgtframe+0xb2/0xd0 [wlan] [<e1a1238a>] ieee80211_getmgtframe+0xaa/0xd0 [wlan] [<e1a0da3c>] ieee80211_send_mgmt+0x93c/0x9d0 [wlan] [<e19c3c25>] ath_startrecv+0x95/0xc0 [ath_pci] [<e1a0eba0>] ieee80211_newstate+0x240/0x550 [wlan] [<e19c40f7>] ath_newstate+0x177/0x390 [ath_pci] [<e1a0aaff>] ieee80211_next_scan+0xff/0x150 [wlan] [<e1a0eb58>] ieee80211_newstate+0x1f8/0x550 [wlan] [<e19c40f7>] ath_newstate+0x177/0x390 [ath_pci] [<e19c0087>] ath_init+0x177/0x2a0 [ath_pci] [<c0361293>] dev_open+0xd3/0x110 [<c03625d1>] dev_change_flags+0x51/0x130 [<c0396b29>] devinet_ioctl+0x239/0x580 [<c0398a45>] inet_ioctl+0x45/0x90 [<c0359a5d>] sock_ioctl+0xbd/0x250 [<c015a2ed>] sys_ioctl+0x8d/0x1f0 [<c01174a0>] do_page_fault+0x0/0x562 [<c0105cf7>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb Code: 0f 0b 5b 00 72 ac 3f c0 83 c4 14 c3 8d 74 26 00 8d bc 27 00 ifconfig -a BEFORE seg fault: bash-2.05b# ifconfig -a ath0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:05:4E:47:9F:C6 BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:199 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interrupt:11 Memory:e1972000-e1982000 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0D:60:8B:83:3C BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Base address:0x8000 Memory:c0220000-c0240000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:200 (200.0 b) TX bytes:200 (200.0 b) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.a. ifconfig ath0 192.168.1.50 or 1.b. dhcpcd ath0 2.ifconfig -a 3.

latexer (this is 2.6.8.x) I can't really test this.
Any ideas what I can do to get past this? It took me months to get this system sorted out and now I am back to either booting from knoppix or XP. Please help!!! I don't care what I have to disable, downgrade etc. I really need to get this system back online. Thanks -PaulK
Linux version 2.6.8-gentoo-r3 (root@candito) (gcc version 3.3.4 20040623 (Gentoo that's an outdated kernel, you should update it
I got a similar error. All I did was remove ip filtering from the kernel because I don't need it on my laptop. Kernel linux-2.6.11-gentoo-r4 I put it back and the problem went away. Silly me trying to make my kernel smaller. I can't change the status, you should consider changing this back to open.
