To make things clear: on that machine, there was stock opensuse 11.1 distro kernel which is 2.6.27-based (no b43fcd7dc7b). I needed to debug a wireless bug, so I kexec'ed wireless-testing (contains 4a865905f already). So in fact, 4a865905f from the testing kernel triggered a bug fixed in near past by b43fcd7dc7b. Did the other two e100* drivers suffer from the same and were fixed recently? It would render kexec pretty unusable from the older kernels if this is not going to be fixed anyhow :(. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
