Hi,


But wait! I just remembered another case. Using the (incomprehensibly) "obsolete"
madwifi diver (note aside: this driver _does_ reduce the _felt_ deadlock frequency 
or kernel panics, referenced by http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/5/3/229, but not 
entirely make them go away). It evenly locks the wireless NIC while transferring
blobs. 

So where should I be posting this? When both drivers deadlock it's either a common 
base in the wireless driver premisses or yet up the path somewhere in the kernel code.

Ideas?


  Thanks,

    Nils

I missed the first email.  What type of machine?  System lockup
or the connection drops?  Do you get any output on the console or
in dmesg? (try switching to a text console before your scp test.)
If not, any output after lockup booting with nmi_watchdog=1?
