Product: pcmcia-cs
Component: pcmcia-cs
Summary: xircom_cs and orinoco_ps drivers freeze kernel
Product: pcmcia-cs
Version: 3.2.4-2mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: pcmcia-cs
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I installed today's cooker on a new laptop which uses the TI PCI4510 PC Card
Controller.
If I insert a standard modem card, cardmgr does the "modprobe serial_cs", the
memory probe, and successfully initializes the modem.
If I insert either a Xircom ethernet card or a Linksys Wireless card (both of
which worked on another laptop in 9.1), I get the "modprobe" for the correct
driver (xircom_ps or orinoco_ps) and then the kernel freezes. This occurs under
both the "linux" and "linux-enterpris" kernels (22.13).
My suspicion is that the memory probe is causing the problem, but I don't know
if it's a driver problem or a kernel problem (or how to find out).
This has been happening since the 22.10 kernel, at least. Occasionally the
drivers which freeze would actually get a memory probe message out to a "tail -f
syslog", and my impression was that a different memory range was involved than
for the modem, but these lines don't make it to the file before the freeze.
