Dave, This fix is intended for 2.6.34. It resolves an issue involving an Oops on boxes w/ iwl4965 hardware, apparently introduced by another recent patch. The thread describing the issue and the resolution is here: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=127074721531649&w=2 In order to avoid reverting that patch, please accept this fix instead. As usual, please let me know if there are problems! Thanks, John --- The following changes since commit 2626419ad5be1a054d350786b684b41d23de1538: David S.
