Hi, I'm trying to use a hawking hwu54g with the zd1211rw driver in the 2.6.20 linux kernel. It works ok when I hotplug the device, but causes firefox to segfault when I coldplug the device. I compiled the device driver as a module so I don't see why there should be any difference. Any ideas? Paul Albrecht |

BTW a userspace process shouldn't segfault, if a network device does dis- and reappear. -- Uli Kunitz |
