SMP and ath Wifi driver - fatal trap 12: page fault

[Sahil R Cooner]

Well I believe the error lies in your SMP as the debugging error is with 
the CPU, try turning off SMP, I'm pretty sure that should work, it might 
be having trouble distributing large loads of data and that messes 
things up in there.

I have the NDIS (project evil) stuff running and the only time I can 
consistently get a page fault like your receiving minus the processor 
flags and such ... is when I shutdown with the ndis modules still loaded ...

Let me know how it goes ....
