Subject: [pcmcia/wlan/2.6.15.4] Freeze of the system

Hoi!

I use Linux 2.6.15.4 (updating to 2.6.15.6 right now) on a
compaq evo n400c.

When I insert the compaq wl100 (802.11b) pcmcia card, my system
freezes completly (it's an orinoco chip inside).

I remember, that _this_ notebook with _this_ card freezed
also with earlier Linux kernel versions.

But it first freezes, when pcmcia is activated in Linux.

System information:

[11:27] hydrogenium:~% lspci | grep -i -e cardbus -e pcmcia
0000:00:04.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI1211

[11:26] hydrogenium:~% uname -a
Linux hydrogenium 2.6.15.4 #2 PREEMPT Sun Feb 26 18:06:18 CET 2006 i686 GNU/Linux

.config is attached.

What else information do you need for debugging?

Nico

I verified it with 2.6.15.6, it still freezes. Perhaps I'll
try with 2.6.16 tomorrow, but I do not think this will change
anything.

Perhaps someone can give me a hint on how to debug that?

Hi! Notice how your new spam-filtering scheme breaks horribly?
(Hint: look at the CC line) See how you're going to get
exponentially more emails every day as people CC the old address
too? Can't you just turn off this horrible scheme too and quit
wasting email bandwidth? Or at _least_ make it only change monthly.
And install a decent bayesian filter; mine eliminates all but maybe 3
spams a week with no more than one false positive a month, and I
haven't done anything other than train it with a bunch of good and
bad emails for a few months or so.

Cheers,
