Description Richard Hughes 2007-03-21 20:12:01 UTC
Description of problem:
I'm using a laptop with an internal ipw1945 network adapter, and so now with
recent rawhide kernels the iwlwifi driver gets loaded.
I'm also using a USB network adapter (as the ipw1945 does not work yet), a
zd1211rw based adapter. Now with rawhide the zd1211rw_mac80211, iwlwifi *and*
the zd1211rw driver get loaded, leading to the oops below.

Probably either the zd1211rw *or* the zd1211rw_mac80211 should be turned on in
the config, not both.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6.20-1.2960.fc7

How reproducible:
Always, usually during boot (which also disables the keyboard).

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot with a zd1211rw USB dongle attached.
2. Boom.

Comment 1 John W. Linville 2007-04-18 19:39:25 UTC
Can you still recreate this with current rawhide kernels?

BTW, I think that summary change was wrong, as the stack trace points directly 
at the iwlwifi driver...

Comment 2 John W. Linville 2007-05-11 00:28:19 UTC
I have disabled the softmac-based "zd1211rw" driver, in favor 
of "zd1211rw-mac80211"...

Comment 3 Richard Hughes 2007-05-17 11:23:52 UTC
Yes, and this fixes the problem. Thanks John.
