This is an ndiswrapper bug of some kind. Please report to the authors. FWIW it looks like the driver has requested an irq, an interrupt was delivered, but the driver was not really ready to receive an interrupt yet. Typical driver bug... http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/support.html I suppose I should have mentioned that this same driver/ndiswrapper combination worked flawlessly with FC6 and only broke after installing F7. I've also recompiled the driver from source myself with the same results. Based on this, I believe the problem has been been introduced by the F7 kernel and am therefore reopening the bug. I will also report the problem to the ndiswrapper folks. The trace has ndiswrapper all over it. There's nothing to fix in the kernel. That it worked in FC6 is irrelevant. If out of tree drivers make assumptions to some behaviour of the kernel, it's no surprise it breaks when that behaviour changes. |
