Hi all,

My wireless board based on Intel IXP425 prognhorn SBC-250 with atheros mini PCI running
latest kamikaze_8.09 version 13560 throws the following message on the console when the client
access internet associated to the AP OpenWrt.

root@OpenWrt:/# Virtual device ath0 asks to queue packet!
Virtual device ath0 asks to queue packet!
Virtual device ath0 asks to queue packet!
Virtual device ath0 asks to queue packet!
Virtual device ath0 asks to queue packet!
Virtual device ath0 asks to queue packet!

root@OpenWrt:/# brctl show any
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
br-lan 8000.0008a2043ffa no ath0
eth0

Has anybody experienced this problem on Pronghorn SBC-250 board ? Can anybody precise me
what makes the madwifi driver to throws this error message when the client access internet ?

thanks
Sara

*BUMP*

I'm having the same problem with my Pronghorn Metro.

Here is my setup:

[Corporate Network]---(eth1)---[Pronghorn Metro -AP MODE-]- - -(ath0)- - -[Pronghorn Metro -STA MODE-]---(eth0)---[Desktop Computer]

Both boards have WDS enabled on the wifi-iface. Here is the AP's wireless configuration:

root@MERC_AP:/etc/config# cat wireless

config 'wifi-device' 'wifi0'
        option 'type' 'atheros'
        option 'disabled' '0'
        option 'channel' '6'
        option 'diversity' '0'

config 'wifi-iface'
        option 'device' 'wifi0'
        option 'network' 'lan'
        option 'mode' 'ap'
        option 'encryption' 'none'
        option 'ssid' '21S365'
        option 'wds' '1'
        option 'bssid' '00:15:xx:xx:xx:xx'

Thanks,

I'm having the same issue on 8.09.1, Asus WL-500gP + AR5413. Seems that when these messages occur there's network interruption/disconnection...

Same here, Backfire (10.03, r20728) @ routerstation.
But it doesn't affect anything, it just shows up in kernel log.

I have same messages in backfire rc3 running on alix board with atheros wifi.

I have bridged ath0 with eth1

config 'interface' 'lan'
    option 'proto' 'static'
    option 'netmask' '255.255.255.0'
    option 'ipaddr' '10.1.1.1'
    option 'defaultroute' '0'
    option 'peerdns' '0'
    option 'type' 'bridge'
    option 'ifname' 'eth1 ath0'

wireless card seems to work ok but I am getting this error when running dmesg.

hello i think the problem occurs when the router has 100% cpu used. with wifi and wpa2/ccmp, my netgear cpu goes to 80% cpu at 1.2 MB/s in download. if i open LUCI in firefox, i get some % used more. use top -d1 command to see

The discussion might have continued from here.
