System freezes when enabling monitor mode for AR9285 on 2.6.36

EDIT: OK, sorry guys, found some more infos on the topic:

I am going to downgrade my kernel to 2.6.35.


Hey all,

I have a severe system failure when trying to set my wlan chipset into monitor mode - works with backtrack 4, which still uses 2.6.30 I guess

reproduce with:

Atheros AR9285 chipset on ArchLinux w/ Kernel 2.6.36 , drivers are standard ath9k which come with Arch Linux

airmon-ng start wlan0 <channel>

"panic occured, switching to console mode.." or something, after a long output, which doesnt get logged, supposedly..

might be related to:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=104231

although ifconfig wlan0 up works without any problems..

what can I do? downgrading my kernel to 2.6.30, or installing other drivers?
I have to admit I'm not a power user when it comes to kernel and drivers stuff.. but willing to learn.

Thank you
