Re: 2.4.22 hangs with pcmcia and linux-wlan

[Nigel Cunningham <ncunningham@clear.net.nz>]

Hi.

Similar results here, except I can be more specific. I see the issue
using pcmcia only. The package I'm using is the
external-to-the-kernel-tree pcmcia-cs-3.2.3. Under 2.4.22, I get a
complete freeze (no SysRq, no flashing cursor) when I insmod i82365.o. I
tried recompiling the whole kernel & modules using gcc 2.96 and 3.2 to
no avail.  If I use the kernel tree's code, I can insmod okay, but my
ltmodem_cs driver reports the modem as being busy all the time. The
problem was fixed by reverting to 2.4.21 (I'd already deleted pre2,
which was working). No configuration changes required - just a
recompile.

Regards,

Nigel
