RE: ethernet driver(bug report)

[Mark K. <mk...@co...>]

I have some Pyro cards here, both LV22 and LV 23 based. 

I have not built the kernel in awhile, so I need to do that, but if someone
can give me the EXACT instructions for insmod'ing I will be happy to try it
out. (I do mean exact! I'm a hardware guy! Take pity!)

Let me know.
Mark

That's strange. Does it happen also if the pc is not connected on the
bus ? Do you remove all the 1394 modules before insmoding ? I don't
have a Pyro card here... anybody having the same problem ?

So it is load related ?

One thing I have noticed but haven't fixed yet is that the bottom halves
in the irq handler are sometimes queued but not executed. You can try
to call them directly (instead of queueing) and see if it helps.
