[gentoo-user] Ethernet Bridging

[gentoo-user] Ethernet Bridging

[Jason Carson]

I am following this guide to setup my wireless access point.

http://gentoo-wiki.com/Wireless/Access_point#Bridging_the_wired_.26_wireless_segments

I have my network up and running with WPA.

When I configured my kernel to use bridging (compiled into the kernel, not
as a module) and rebooted I got a kernel panic, It was a whole screen full
of stuff.

Here is some of it I manually typed out...

Oops: 0002 [#1]
Modules linked in: wlan_scan_ap ath_rate_sample ath_pci wlan ath_hal(P)
Pid: 4033, comm:runscript.sh Tainted: P (2.6.24.7 #3)
EIP: 0060: stuff
EIP is at ieee80211_add country+0x8f/0xd0 [wlan]
Stack: Bunch of numbers
Call Trace: bunch of stuff
Code: numbers and letters.
kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt.

Anyone know what to do?

This kernel panic happened while loading ath0 on startup.

ok,I installed a newer kernel (2.6.25.9) and the problem went away.
