hello all,
I was trying to setup a wireless router using atheros cards (Planet WL-8310 v3).
As usual, i was configuring the ethernet interface, and i was trying to enable the wireless ones..
But, was getting kernel panic !
i tried 3 different computers, i changed all pci slots, and almost all different bios settings…
This was going the last 48 hours…
When i finally decided to get a picture and a supout.rif file, to send them to MT support, i got an idea…
When you put an atheros card into a MT router, the default setting is in 802.11a band !
So when i was using console to enable the card (/interface enable 1), it was trying to enable the card in 5Ghz band, with kernel panic of course…
When i changed the band, without enabling the card, and after this i enabled it, everything worked fine…
I post this to prevent other people from having the same trouble with me…
p.s. Dear MT developers, why dont you use 2.4Ghz-B band as the default ?
