Issue #2685 has been updated by xbit.


I will upgrade my system to 3.8.1 and will test again without the reverted changes. I will also try to create the crash dump, but I expected this won't work due to the not-working USB keyboard.

Bug #2685: configuring ath0 freezes the system
http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/2685#change-12093

* Author: xbit
* Status: New

* Target version: 3.8.0
----------------------------------------
Loading if_ath works, but when configuring the device the system locks up/freezes.

System has been upgraded from 3.6-RELEASE via buildworld, installworld. Kernel is GENERIC_X64_86 and HEAD is 358af07.

Running "ifconfig ath0 up" works.

Then calling "ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0" freezes the system.

I discovered the follwoing kernel message when trying to configure the device using /etc/rc.d/netif.

ath0: _ath_power_restore_power_state.refcount=0?

I also applied the change from http://lists.dragonflybsd.org/pipermail/commits/2014-June/270210.html via cherry-picking, but no changes.

The 3.6-RELEASE have been used successfully with the same hardware.

Here are the ath related snippets from the dmesg output:
