I need some advice which options to turn on. I attempted to bisect, but ran into problems. As an alternative, I added a WARN_ON(err) immediately after the request_firmware call to get a stack dump: orinoco_cs 0.0: firmware: requesting agere_sta_fw.bin ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at /usr/src/linux-current/wireless-testing/drivers/net/wireless/orinoco.c:495 orinoco_dl_firmware+0xbb/0x1ce [orinoco]() Modules linked in: orinoco_cs orinoco hermes_dld hermes michael_mic aty128fb snd_maestro3 [last unloaded: hermes] Pid: 22157, comm: bash Not tainted 2.6.28-rc2-wl #41 Call Trace: [<c0117a8c>] warn_on_slowpath+0x3e/0x57 [<c019578a>] release_sysfs_dirent+0x50/0x60 [<c0195b3d>] sysfs_addrm_finish+0x73/0x78 [<c0195d03>] remove_dir+0x21/0x27 [<c02a8901>] fw_dev_release+0x15/0x1d [<c022cfbe>] kobject_release+0x0/0x5 [<c022d68b>] kref_put+0x3f/0x4c [<c02a8c7d>] _request_firmware+0x176/0x1bd [<d1083381>] orinoco_dl_firmware+0xbb/0x1ce [orinoco] [<d10836d0>] orinoco_download+0x1f/0x30 [orinoco] [<d1086b39>] orinoco_init+0x63/0x4aa [orinoco] [<c0362ee8>] __dev_get_by_name+0x18/0x72 [<c03632ed>] __dev_alloc_name+0x110/0x128 [<c03660e5>] netdev_init_queue_locks+0x29/0x41 [<c03661e6>] register_netdevice+0x60/0x1d7 [<c036638c>] register_netdev+0x2f/0x3b [<d10912a0>] orinoco_cs_config+0xe1/0x174 [orinoco_cs] [<c02ecdda>] pcmcia_device_probe+0xfa/0x144 [<c0196200>] sysfs_do_create_link+0x3c/0x10f [<c02a559e>] __device_attach+0x0/0x5 [<c02a54d9>] really_probe+0x70/0xea [<c02a5596>] driver_probe_device+0x34/0x3c [<c02a4a53>] bus_for_each_drv+0x38/0x59 [<c02a55ee>] device_attach+0x4b/0x5e [<c02a559e>] __device_attach+0x0/0x5 [<c02a4c00>] bus_attach_device+0x21/0x4f [<c02a3955>] device_add+0x147/0x272 [<c02ed29b>] pcmcia_device_add+0x1ca/0x253 [<c02ed3a1>] pcmcia_card_add+0x7d/0x8a <----- ??
