Let's be more clear. I tested properly on 32 bits. But, 32
bits is not where there is issue, this issue is specific to 64 bits. I
don't have a 64 bits platfor. It seems that few people doing wireless
have access to 64 bits platform (actually, it seems most of them don't
have access to SMP either), otherwise this would have been found many
years ago.
Johannes is one of the few having access to 64 bits stuff.
