Hi,
I'm trying to use the rtl8187 in the Fedora 8 kernel 2.6.23.14-107.fc8
on x86_64 and I'm having a number of problems with reliability.
However, the most obvious problem is that the module cannot be removed.
Attempting to rmmod the rtl8187 causes rmmod and ksoftirqd to go to 100%
every time.
The nvidia driver is loaded, but I can reproduce without it, and will do
so and repost logs if necessary (easily). Also, I could switch to
another kernel version (non-Fedora) if necessary (harder).
The last message relevant to the removal in the log is:
usbcore: deregistering interface driver rtl8187
I have a sysrq-Tasks dump also, and I'll try to paste the 'relevant'
portions, but if you want something else, let me know:

I don't see anything in the posted information which clearly
suggests an rtl8187 problem or even a mac80211 one. Would you mind
opening a bugat bugzilla.redhat.com for this issue? Please add
"[email protected]" to the CC: field when you open it.
Thanks!
