Hi,
I'm having some problems with 2.5.71 (latest bk yesterday I believe).
All works well (pcmcia works as advertised, with one tiny blip on
the horizon), except when I want to reboot, when I get the following
message:
unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth1 to become free. Usage count = 1
The net device is an Orinoco mini-pci card (eg, cardbus minipci interface
with built-in orinoco card), and it is down.
I'm not sure what causes this, and it's started somewhere in 2.5.70 bk.
Hope this report helps,
Bas Vermeulen

I believe this is a netdevice problem and isn't anything to do with
PCMCIA or Cardbus. If the net people would like to confirm this, it'd
be most helpful.

I'm also using a RTL8139 cardbus card, and that does not show this
particular problem (works great actually).
So I'm not so sure it is a netdevice problem. It may be a orinoco
problem, but I'm not entirely sure what's causing it.
Just wanted to see if anyone's noticed it as well, and if a fix was
out there.

I'm not sure, but for what I *see* (using a PCMCIA NE2000 clone with my
Laptop) this problem occures by this:
- Insert your card (after "/etc/init.d/pcmcia-cs start" is done, that
card will be recognized and configured).
- shutdown your laptop. This involves "/etc/init.d/pcmcia-cs stop".
- _Later on_ (after the card should already have gone away because
you've just stopped the pcmcia subsystem), "/etc/init.d/networking
stop" tried to "ifconfig ethX down" the card - Bang.
The cardbus/hotplug stuff might be different here. I think this is
solely a problem of the pure PCMCIA stuff...

i've been seeing the problem for a while with my orinoco_cs and
3c574_cs, so you're not alone. i'm using debian unstable.

It might help to actually report this to the "networking"
lists, because that's where the "networking" people hang
out, not here.

Is this still an outstanding problem in 2.5.73?

I haven't shut down my laptop since I booted it with 2.5.73, but I can
do so this evening.

Here's my reading off the screen:
- /etc/init.d/pcmcia stop
- The network card's lights go off
- Above mentioned message starts and repeats every n seconds
- /etc/init.d/networking stop is being executed, but doesn't
seem to stop the message. Though, it takes longer than
previously
- The message appears last time just before APM powers my laptop
off...
This is with:
baerchen:~# uname -a

i still see it with both my 3c574_cs and my orinoco_cs in 2.5.73.
this one is elusive, isn't it? if i were smarter, i'd try to track it
down. maybe i'll look at it again, not that i know anything.

Still see it here as well. I'll try to track it down tonight, when I've
got some free time on my hands.
