Hello,
I've received the following kernel panic twice in two days since I
started using the brcm80211 driver:
http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5202/5334637544_a0dacd5edd_b.jpg
I have a Dell M101z with:
03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n
Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01)
I am running:
Linux jamie-laptop 2.6.36-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Dec 10 20:32:37 CET
2010 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) II Neo K325 Dual-Core Processor
AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
Cheers, Jamie

Hmm, haven't seen this type of crash before. Any special setup you are using?
Thanks

Not that I can think of. I still have the Broadcom STA compiled wl
driver installed but disabled. I installed the brcm80211 driver from
Arch's AUR repository:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=42670
I have recently been fiddling about with laptop-mode, but I don't
think that has caused it as that doesn't reproduce it and there's been
no obvious acpi event when it's crashed.
Cheers, Jamie

I do boot with the noapic kernel option if that would make any difference.

I don't know if it makes any difference but I tried again, this time
with a 2.6.37 kernel and got a slightly different error (almost
immediately x started, I guess when wireless was coming up):

Someone here is suggesting that adding maxcpus=1 to the boot options
has fixed their crashes. Could this be my issue?

Rereading the whole thread I noticed the PREEMPT in your uname message.
Does this mean you are running with CONFIG_PREEMPT (Preemptible Kernel)?
This may not be supported by this driver.

Apparently so. I'm using the stock Arch kernel.

Ok, how would I find out for sure?

Try a non-preemptible kernel? I will discuss it over here and get back
with a definite response. Maybe it is a new candidate for our todo list.

Incidentally, and this is a bit anecdotal, but I don't seem to have
had a crash since I stopped booting with noapic. I will add noapic to
my boot options again and see if I can get a crash.

Well for some reason when I got home today my machine crashed every
time it was bringing the wireless interface up until I disabled the
brcm80211 module, even without the noapic option. The crash looks a
little different:

Did you notice that someone on that Arch thread suggested that it
might be solved by using n mode only on the wireless router?

Thanks, a little more data to work with.
Roland has a lead on a locking issue that will hopefully resolve the MP
crashes. However, it does look like there are a couple different issues, and
testing mixed vs. 11n-only networks may shed some more light on the other
issue.
