Ouch :( Thanks a lot for bisecting, unfortunately it's quite big, non-trivial change. Can be hard to track what has changed incorrectly. Diff: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=36dbd9548e92268127b0c31b0e121e63e9207108 Michael: could you check this, comment, please? Do you have any suspections what can go wrong there? -- Rafał _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list Bcm43xx-dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
