Hi, I'm having problems with the new b44 module on linux-2.6-test1 patched
with the same patch that evenually got into test-2
this is how i can reproduce the problem:
1 ) boot and load the module, don't plug in the ethernet cable
2 ) try to configure the card via dhcp, it times out
3 ) rmmod b44
at this point I get cpu at 90%
new istances of lsmod and rmmod hang during execution
i get the following kernel events:
unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0 to become free. Usage count = 1
every few seconds,
is there any more testing i can do for you?
the module works flawlessly otherwise
thank you
Antonio Dolcetta

Speaking just for me, I don't think I have Linux blinders on my eyes.
I can see other platforms, but I *choose* to ignore them on the theory
that if I ignore them hard enough they will go away.
This theory is obviously crazy. However, it also appears to be working.
