thank you very much for your answer. I've now set reset_mode=1,
which seems to be now active, as I can see in dmesg:
[ 8.471659] ath10k_pci 0000:08:00.0: pci irq msi oper_irq_mode 2
irq_mode 0 reset_mode 1
[ 8.587267] ath10k_pci 0000:09:00.0: pci irq msi oper_irq_mode 2
irq_mode 0 reset_mode 1
After starting HostAPd, I powered up my Squeezebox Radio to connect via
WiFi.
Just after a few minutes, it crashed, as expected, but it did not
restart the whole server.
It this due reset_mode=1? I was now able to capture a lot of information
from dmesg.
You can clearly see, that the firmware crashed. The HostAPd process is
still running,
but the WiFi can be detected anymore.
As it's very much, I've put this on pastebin:
http://pastebin.com/83WZktp6
You can see at mark 250, WiFi1 (2.4GHz) comes up and at mark 356 WIFI2
(5GHz) comes up.
By mark 691, ath10k_pci crashed and WiFi stopped working. Normally, at
this point the whole server would reboot.
I've also now tried the newest firmware 10.2.4.70.58 which no luck.
Any Ideas?
Cheers and Thanks
Conrad
