Bug 11393

In iwl_tx_cmd_complete:

        /* If a Tx command is being handled and it isn't in the actual
         * command queue then there a command routing bug has been introduced
         * in the queue management code. */
        if (txq_id != IWL_CMD_QUEUE_NUM)
                IWL_ERROR("Error wrong command queue %d command id 0x%X\n",
                          txq_id, pkt->hdr.cmd);
        BUG_ON(txq_id != IWL_CMD_QUEUE_NUM);

Zhu Yi, any idea what might cause that?

Yup, we are tracking this bug on SLUB. Thomas, can you confirm you have also this bug on SLAB?

I actually use SLAB...
CONFIG_SLAB=y

I just tested wlan with an 802.11-g network, and it just works for over two hours now, didn crash yet. So it seems the bug reported above just affects -n or 5GHz networks.

Well, I am using SLUB and I used to experience the same kernel panic (bug report is here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-backports-modules-2.6.27/+bug/276990).

I applied this patch "http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=55d6a3cd0cc85ed90c39cf32e16f622bd003117b".

I have a lot of "WARNING: at /build/buildd/linux-backports-modules-2.6.27-2.6.27/debian/build/build-generic/compat-wireless-2.6/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-tx.c:1204 iwl_tx_cmd_complete+0x2ce/0x2e0 [iwlcore]()

This problem is being tracked at http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1703

so what's the status of this? Is there going to be a fix anywhere soon or should I get another card. Is this driver even actually maintained?

Did you look at the link in comment 6?  Have you contribute your information their?

Much as I would prefer for Intel to work on problems here, they seem much more cooperative with using their bugzilla instead...

hm. I would really appreciate if someone would email me if he is moving the tracking of a bug I filed to another bugzilla I'm not registered in.

So, can anyone recommend another wifi card for the T61? I would prefer an Atheros chipset. 

The tracking of the bug was not moved. It was originally submitted there and currently being followed by 15 external people. Duplicating that effort for your convenience is not efficient.

This is duplicate of bug 11983, which has a patch available. Could you please test it?

yeah, this is fixed by this patch.

Marking as fixed based on comment #12.
