            Bug ID: 208636
           Summary: [net80211][panic]Kernel panic in adhoc mode
           Product: Base System
           Version: 10.3-BETA2
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: wireless
          Assignee: freebsd-wireless@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: shamaz.mazum@gmail.com

Hello. I am using FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE and have a following bug when trying=
 to
configure adhoc mode on Atheros Wi-Fi adapter (the driver is ath, of course=
).

I do the following in console:

$ ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0 wlanmode adhoc
$ ifconfig wlan0 up
$ ifconfig wlan0 list scan (optional, I think)
$ ifconfig wlan0 ssid skynetV6 channel 10

and get a kernel panic.

When I do just this, as it is stated in manual, everything is OK:

$ ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0 wlanmode adhoc
$ ifconfig wlan0 ssid skynetV6 channel 10

kgdb output:

The real line in frame 8 is capinfo =3D ieee80211_getcapinfo(vap, ni->ni_ch=
an);
in ieee80211_beacon_construct()

It's clear that ni->ni_chan contains IEEE80211_CHAN_ANY constant and is bei=
ng
dereferenced.

This problem report looks very similar to bug #145826, but I am not sure if=
 it
is the same bug (likely so), or a different one, because steps to repeat it
differ with mine.

Also this problem exists in DragonFlyBSD
(http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/2891), but folks there are not eager to
help.

Also, can anyone tell me if this problem is driver or net80211 code specifi=
c? I
mean, can you repeat it with other (non-Atheros) hardware?
