I used to have
MODULES=(!ath5k ath_pci …)
in rc.conf. Then I upgraded and switched to the new blacklisting, ie.:
MODULES=(ath_pci …)
and
blacklist ath5k
in /etc/modprobe.d/my.conf
On rebooting, I got to the Udev part, then saw a General Protection Fault and a call trace with something about ath_attach. Then it would just stay there forever, until I hit the reboot button.
I booted up a live-cd, emptied my MODULES array, and rebooted, then got the same Udev general protection fault etc., but it continued after 30 seconds. When I was logged in, I tried
modprobe --first-time ath_pci
which just hanged, not doing anything.
Then I removed the blacklist ath5k too (ie. no mention of atheros anywhere in my configs, also switched ath0 to wlan0 in my netcfg scripts), and now everything works as before!
Has madwifi ath_pci been deprecated or something?
