Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.26-5-generic
Hello,
I have a Senao NL-2511CD Plus Ext2 on a Dell Inspiron 4150 notebook running
Ubuntu Intrepid (development release) with the latest kernel 2.6.26-5. I have
observed this behavior in kernel releases since Gutsy (when I started using
linux on this laptop with this card).
Whenever the card is inserted on boot, a kernel panic occurs on the hostap_cs
drivers (see screenshot).
If I insert the card once all the modules are loaded, it detects, works and
acts normally with no errors in dmesg.
I am aware of the existing bug where the orinoco drivers are loaded
along with the hostap drivers when detecting these cards, and I have
blacklisted the orinoco drivers. Regardless, this happens with or
without the orinoco drivers blacklisted.
Here is the output from hostap_diag:
NICID: id=0x800c v1.0.0 (PRISM II (2.5) PCMCIA (SST parallel flash))
PRIID: id=0x0015 v1.1.1
STAID: id=0x001f v1.8.2 (station firmware)
I had the stock firmware on the card and flashed it to see if it made a
difference, and it doesn't.
What REALLY threw me for a loop was when I was trying to get console
output via serial to post the debugging output of this crash (booting
with linux option console=ttyS0,9600,8,n,1), it would detect the card
and not crash while booting! But, I got a framebuffer driver working
nicely and managed to snap a picture.
