kernel/softirq.c:136

--------------------------------------------------------------

This may have began after I installed ndiswrapper, but I can't say for
sure since I only noticed after ndiswrapper had been installed.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.7-1.478

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open /var/log/messages
2. Rinse
3. Repeat
    

Actual Results:  The same message appeared

Expected Results:  The message

Additional info:

If this is related to ndiswrapper and I should take this to the
ndiswrapper folks please let me know, I just don't know how to
interpret the message above exactly.  I am using a built-in Broadcom
802.11b/g adapter in a Compaq Presario 3000 notebook.  The wireless
adapter and ndiswrapper appear to function properly.

I wouldn't complain but it's causing my disk to thrash as it
constantly writes this information to the log.

Comment 1 Arjan van de Ven 2004-07-27 13:48:36 UTC
this is a ndiswrapper bug, not our bug.
