I started to get these errors in dmesg which grinds my system to a halt:
Code:

I had just started using hostapd to create a virtual Infrastructure mode, and looked up the device ID:
Code:
# lshw|grep 0000:02:00.0 -A 5 -B 5
*-network
description: Wireless interface
product: RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter
vendor: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
physical id: 0
bus info: pci@0000:02:00.0
logical name: mon.wlan3
version: 01
serial: 9c:b7:0d:a5:45:67
width: 64 bits
clock: 33MHz
Sure enough wlan3 is my internal wifi, and mon.wlan3 is the dev created by hostapd.
This is the hostapd.conf I was using at the time, it happened twice and each time I had to reboot to get the system back running right:
Code:
interface=wlan3
driver=nl80211
ssid=matt
hw_mode=g
channel=1
macaddr_acl=0
auth_algs=1
ignore_broadcast_ssid=0
#wpa=3
#wpa_passphrase="888444111333"
#wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
#wpa_pairwise=TKIP
#rsn_pairwise=CCMP
#beacon_int=100
#dtim_period=2
#max_num_sta=32
#rts_threshold=2347
#fragm_threshold=2346
#wep_default_key=1
#wep_key1="ZzZzZ"
#wep_key_len_broadcast="5"
#wep_key_len_unicast="5"
#wep_rekey_period=300
logger_stdout=-1
logger_stdout_level=0
Any ideas? And here is the other device id:
Code:
# lshw|grep 0000:00:1a.0 -B 5 -A 5
*-usb:0
