TomBuntu Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Yep, I am slowly figuring out what's causing all this crashing. I am using all SATA drives now and disabled memory remapping and it's a lot more stable. But it STILL crashes. I enabled debugging this time and it looks like it's the Ralink driver causing the kernel to panic. I only have this card and a PCI Atheros based one. Are there newer drivers? Any help would be appreciated. BTW: It's rev B, but I also have a rev C around.

pipolas Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 When I download something (like linux distributions or family films ) with transmission, bittorent or azureus, I have always a kernel panic, sometimes 20 minutes after starting bittorent, sometimes 1 hour, it depends. I'm pretty sure the problem is due to the ralink's driver What can we do?

TomBuntu Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 Hi Pipolas, I am not sure there's much we can do besides trying out another "officially supported" network card. I am using rev C dongle now and it hasn't crashed yet but I'm sure it will eventually. I am also trying to get my DWL-G520 (Atheros) to work to see if that's more stable -Tom Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/132009-crash-and-burn-with-dwl-g122-ralink-driver/#findComment-936957 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomBuntu Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 Yep, it crashed :censored2: Running DWL-G520 now to see how that works out. -Tom Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/132009-crash-and-burn-with-dwl-g122-ralink-driver/#findComment-937079 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipolas Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Hi TomBuntu, I have an intel 3945abg, so I wait the driver of this network card, and, I hope this driver is going to be released soon. Maybe Ralinktech is going to release a new driver for our network chipset soon...? I hope you are going to make your DWL-G520 working. Nicolas.

TomBuntu Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 DWL-G520 seems to be working ok so far. No crash yet. -Tom Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/132009-crash-and-burn-with-dwl-g122-ralink-driver/#findComment-939418 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rio678 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Yep mine causes random kernel panics too, very rare ones but it does do it Mines a Rev C So what other one would be best? i think i would prefer a PCI card rather than USB Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/132009-crash-and-burn-with-dwl-g122-ralink-driver/#findComment-944236 Share on other sites More sharing options...
