Subject: bcm43xx: 100 % CPU load due to ksoftirqd
Date: Sun, 28 Oct 2007 21:16:31 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4724EE1F.1020704@yahoo.de> (raw)
Hi,
I recently bought a Compaq 6715s laptop with a Broadcom 4312 wifi chip.
Unfortunately it doesn't work with my Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon.
When the module is loaded it constantly produces the error
bcm43xx_irq_xmit_error. The ksoftirqd uses 100 % of my CPU time. When I
remove the module from the kernel the computer freezes. Before that it
produced the following output:
Call Trace:
<IRQ> [<ffffffff8023b5b9>] __do_softirq+0x69/0xe0
[<ffffffff8020b01c>] call_softirq+0x1c/0x30

Unfortunately I cannot provide a patch but maybe this will help you
further improving the driver.
Jens
