The nic controller's clock on/off irq (CSR_INT_BIT_MAC_CLK_ACTV) is generated when device goes on/off Unlikely turning on the device, irq by off the device may cause oops because iwl_pci_remove already freed required resources The irq_tasklet should not be invoked at that condition $sudo modprobe -r iwl3945 BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address f8864008 printing eip: f8b633bd *pdpt = 0000000000003001 *pde = 0000000037c12067 *pte = 0000000000000000 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: netconsole iwl3945 e1000 EIP is at iwl_irq_tasklet+0x82d/0x1010 [iwl3945] ...
