Subject: Problems with 3c59x in 2.6.7-rc1-bk*
Date: Thu, 27 May 2004 20:30:41 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <40B69641.2080001@tux.obix.com> (raw)
With a 3c905C NIC, I get a kernel panic & hard lock while trying to
bring up the interface at boot.
After reverting the following patch (introduced in 2.6.6-bk1) there are
no more kernel panics. 2.6.6 and earlier work fine with this card.

The strange part? The patch description shows that it tries to fix
100baseTX-FD problems with 3c905C cards... which it precisely what works
fine here WITHOUT the patch.
Yell if anyone needs the text of the panic.
(Andrew, this is directed at you because the changelog shows the patch
came to Linus from you via -mm)
