Setup: Using BCM4306 rev.03 chip based CardBus wireless card. IRQ is shared with yenta (cardbus bridge) and i915 (display) driver. For firmware, installed latest but dated openfwwf 5.2 (http://netweb.ing.unibs.it/~openfwwf/) How-to-reproduce: Do "ssh <NetBSD-remotehost>", then "ls -lR /" to generate traffic, then repeatedly switch VTs by Alt-F1<>Alt-F2. Eventually (within a minute) the card stops working. You can receive traffic but no transmission. For unknown reason it doesn't occur when just generating traffic by "ssh <remotehost> ls -lR /". With CONFIG_B43_DEBUG=y kernel config, when it stops, the debug message shows kernel: b43-phy1 debug: Out of order TX status report on DMA ring 1. Expected 148, but got 180 The slot offset I observed so far was always 32. When err_out2 is not set to make error messages successive, the debug output will be like this: kernel: b43-phy1 debug: Out of order TX status report on DMA ring 1. Expected 116, but got 148 kernel: b43-phy1 debug: Out of order TX status report on DMA ring 1. Expected 116, but got 150 kernel: b43-phy1 debug: Out of order TX status report on DMA ring 1. Expected 116, but got 120 kernel: b43-phy1 debug: Out of order TX status report on DMA ring 1. Expected 116, but got 152 kernel: b43-phy1 debug: Out of order TX status report on DMA ring 1. Expected 116, but got 122 kernel: b43-phy1 debug: Out of order TX status report on DMA ring 1. Expected 116, but got 154 kernel: b43-phy1 debug: Out of order TX status report on DMA ring 1. Expected 116, but got 124 kernel: b43-phy1 debug: Out of order TX status report on DMA ring 1. Expected 116, but got 156 kernel: b43-phy1 debug: Out of order TX status report on DMA ring 1. Expected 116, but got 126 The TX ring alternates between 2 sequences; the ring seems to be completely confused. Controller restart is needed. Workaround(1): This problem doesn't occur when using propriatory firmware you will extract by b43-fwcutter, so it may be a bug in openfwwf firmware, as the comment in the b43_dma_handle_txstatus() suggests. I wasn't able to find a bug in the terse openfwwf code though. Workaround(2): Using "pio=1" option to not use DMA makes this problem to not occur. Description of the patch: This patch will forcibly reset the controller to make it work again. Very kludgy and doesn't look right, but the traffic will continue to flow.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
