I don't know what the origin is of your kernel so please provide some
details on that.
What kind of information do you need ?
As you probably noticed the kernel I'm running is 2.6.38-rc6.
Yup. However, that is not unique by itself. Did you get it from a git
repository like linux-next maintained by Stephen Rothwell or linux-2.6
maintained by Linus Torvalds, or did you download a kernel snapshot from
ftp.kernel.org.
Revelant part of lscpi:
12:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation Device 4727 (rev 01)
Subsystem: Dell Device 0010
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17
Memory at fbb00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: brcm80211
Kernel modules: brcm80211
Always useful to know what hardware you are using. Thanks.
The patch itself can be found in the linuxdriver email
archive:
http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/pipermail/devel/2011-January/011381.html
Do you want me to give it a try ?
I don't think it will apply cleanly, but sure go ahead.
Not sure whether it applies to whatever you have. I just tried your
scenario
with my driver and hardware and no freezes during boot.
My scenario is:
- set the switch to OFF
- insmod the module
- bring up/configure the interface
That's a bit different, but could you elaborate on the last step. Are you
using iw, wpa_supplicant, etc. or relying on NetworkManager.
