Hi Rafa?,

RealOpty reported the same DMA error in the OpenWrt channel and it is
nice that you are working on this. He was using a Netgear WNR834B V2.
Here is his dmesg output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/599979/

We already fixed some of the problems with these devices but have not
investigated into the DMA errors.

The cardbus attribute in the nvram seams to be set wrong for some
devices we added a workaround for it for the Netgear WNR834B V2. [0] It
would be nice to get the nvram content ( nvram show ) to also detect
this device and activate the workaround for it.

The SPROM is not stored on the pci card but in the nvram on the flash
chip of the device. This is now correctly read out in OpenWrt and we
will send some patches to mainline soon. [1] [2]
