Re: Oops in mac80211 with 2.6.26-rc3 triggered playing a video

[Justin Madru <jdm64@gawab.com>]

I've been testing .26-rc4 and I haven't had it lock up - yet. It seems 
like rc4 is more stable than rc3. It seems to fix some other problems I 
was having.

Yeah, I thought the same thing. Why would a network related oops be 
triggered by video playback. It was probably just a coincidence - 
hitting two bugs at once! And I think the video playback lockup was due 
to something that got fixed in rc4 that Linus mentioned.
