I built 2.4.20-rc3 w/ the hermes/orinoco wireless ethernet driver (ver: 0.11b from in-kernel source). Everything would work fine until I started putting load on the network card. ksoftirqd_CPU would then peg the cpu usage to 100%, and the network connection would die. Popping the card out immediately would stop ksoftirqd from going crazy and everything would carry on fine (re-inserting the card, light network traffic, etc). I built and installed the orinoco-0.13beta1 code and that solved the problem. Might a re-sync be considered before 2.4.20-final? thanks -john - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
