Cool, thanks for the feedback. For the record that is patch 3 in this series. I sent everything except the one that puts a spinlock around reset; that still hangs for me so I'd rather not send it until I know why. Consequently, the other 2 patches (1 and 2) don't have any major effect. I suspect patch 3 helps but doesn't cure anything. -- Bob Copeland %% www.bobcopeland.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
