[PATCH] orinoco_cs: fix too early irq request

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



orinoco_cs requests its irq too early. This results in irq coming in 
right afrer request_irq and before initializing other data structures, 
resulting in NULL pointer dereference on module load.

Fix it by moving request_irq after other initialization tasks.

Tested to work with Orinoco Gold PCMCIA card.
