I still believe that this is not a hardware error, but rather a software bug in the DMA allocator that probably is fixed already. Larry, I think you added this. Do you still have the device that triggered this?
Yes, I do. I'll test the BCM4311 with the GFP_KERNEL flag. Larry _______________________________________________ b43-dev mailing list b43-dev@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/b43-dev
