The result is strange :( 6b28405395f7ec492ea69f541cc774adcb9e00ca is the first bad commit commit 6b28405395f7ec492ea69f541cc774adcb9e00ca Author: Axel Köllhofer Date: Sat Jan 22 14:33:50 2011 -0600 staging: r8712u: Add new device IDs This patch adds several new device ids to the r8712u staging driver. The new ids were retrieved from latest vendor driver (v2.6.6.0.20101111) downloadable from www.realtek.com.tw Signed-off-by: Axel Koellhofer Signed-off-by: Larry Finger Cc: Stable [2.6.37] Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman :040000 040000 185c3d2c1e98cc99009bfb772ed0779410784110 f5aa903931116f28f803003f594fec3b2a29a6f6 M drivers Seems absolutely unrelated - I do not have staging enabled so so no CONFIG_R8712U either. The "bad" bisects were clearly bad and failed quicky during aptitude list update but the good ones might have needed more stress... or it is some alignment-like problem. Will try again starting from these bad bisects to narrow it down, and stress seemingly good ones better. -- Meelis Roos (mroos@linux.ee) -- 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/
