Subject: [PATCH] 2.6.25-rc4 de_stop_rxtx polling wrong
Date: Sat, 8 Mar 2008 18:33:16 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080309013316.GD25083@colo.lackof.org> (raw)

Jeff,
This untested patch _should_ fix:
	"(net de2104x) Kernel panic with de2104x tulip driver on boot"	
	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3156

But the bug submitter isn't responding.  Same fix has been applied
to tulip.c (several years ago) and uli526x.c (Feb 2008) drivers.

Patch was originally against 2.6.23 but applies clean against 2.6.25-rc4.

[ The panic reported in the bug report was removed in a recently
  (march 2008) accepted patch from Ondrej Zary. ]
