Hi,

The recent changes in 2.5.65-BK broke my pcmcia network driver.
It smells like a synchronisation and locking issue between the
pcmcia / ds / pcnet_cs modules loading and initialisation.

This is reproducible 99%, in 1% of the cases timing gets slightly
modified and I get a succesful loading, see below.

I've enabled debugging in lib/kobject.c and here is what I get:

Under some circumstances modifying slightly the timings (here it
was a forced fsck on /), all loads corectly, as shown below:

Need more details ?
