Hi,

one of our 2 Netgear WGT634u devices, 'wgt1' is unusable, because its wifi
device does not work. Whenever its wifi kernel module ath_pci.ko is loaded,
"data bus error" occurs followed by kernel panic, and no wifi device comes up.

I have tested that device with OpenWRT kamikaze 7.09, kamikaze svn devel tree
 as well as a nightly snapshot on <http://universe.freifunk-halle.net/>. None
of them works.

On the other hand, the another WGT634u device 'wgt2' works pretty well with
kamikaze 7.09. It's now given 192.168.5.51 and ssid 'pisa-switch2'.

I've attached a note 'Defekt' on the broken device, and put it in the Netgear
box. Don't use it please!

Cheers,
Dongsu
