please retest with a recent kernel (2.4.22-pre5, 2.5.75) and make a detailed error report here. your last report: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdev&m=105491852519880 is quite useless since the oops is not decoded. see man ksymoops - : 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
