Created attachment 239211 [details] Patch fixing the problem Ok, here's a patch to fix the problem. The problem was that the driver didn't clear all interrupts in the chip before enabling interrupts and on my laptop it ended up taking the interrupt long before the driver was ready to handle it. Cheers, Jes
Would you mind giving these kernels a quick test? http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=22511
Your kernel seems to do the trick here - thanks! Jes
