I didn't notice anything in the past (as I wrote). But today I did some tests for an updated version of the p54 mac80211 wlan driver and I noticed exactly the same problem: when booting with highres=off everything is fine. But when I boot an highres enabled kernel and I do the iperf-test with the p54 driver, my systems becomes unresponsive during the test. It seems to be exactly the same problem I have with the b44 driver. So this might not be a bug in the b44 code but a bug somewhere in the linux networking code. I did the test with an 2.6.22-rc3-git4 kernel and the p54 driver built external as module. Maxi
