[Madwifi-users] hard lock with second AP VAP

[Dimitris K. <dim...@gm...>]

Hello,

Total newbie here, trying to set up a couple of virtual APs, any help
would be very appreciated:

Using the r1346 snapshot.
The host machine runs Linux 2.6.14.3 and has HyperThreading (and SMP
support) enabled.

The hardware is actually a 3com 3CRDAG675B, which is a 5414
(http://madwifi.org/wiki/Compatibility#Wireless11a/b/gPCIAdapter3CRDAG675B)

Two VAPs created:

sudo wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap
sudo wlanconfig ath1 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap

which I tried to use with hostapd-0.4.7, config files attached.

When I ran the hostapd with:

sudo hostapd -d hostapd-ath0.conf hostapd-ath1.conf

I saw:

At that point I got a hard lock.  Unfortunately I had no syslog server
available, but I managed to take a picture of the console, available here:

Any ideas?  Is the info in the panic picture enough?  If not, I'll try
to crash my SOHO gateway box again, this time capturing the console
better :-P

Thanks

Dimitris.
