[Bug 543726] [NEW] ar9170usb crash/freeze in monitor mode

[mehlis at inf.fu-berlin.de]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.32-16-generic

[https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15591]

I have the 
AVM FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick N      
USB Vendor 0x057c      
USB Produc t0x8401

If I enter monitor mode with "airmon" and begin listen "airodump",my whole
system (ubuntu lucid and karmic) freeze. no chance to reboot, only pressing the
hardwarebutton helps.

kernel: 2.6.32 ubuntu lucid with wireless-backports
        and 2.6.31 karmic with wireless-backports

i will observe this thread, ask for more useful infos;)

I think this belogs to the Networkmanager, it does:
Mar 20 21:25:52 infrared wpa_supplicant[948]: CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS 
once a minute, the freeze is always in this time slot.

$ su

#create mon0 dev
$ airmon-ng start wlan0

#listen on mon0
$ airodump-ng -i mon0

now wait some seconds, freeze
