Yeah, you're right:
# grep rtl8192se dump_dma_k3.19.4.log | wc -l 6789 # # grep rtl8192se dump_dma_k3.17.8.log | wc -l 162 #
So, wlan driver would be the real culprit then..? I would have never thought...
I guess I'm gonna test 3.19.4 once more (just to be sure) with rtl8192se removed and see what happens.
