Bug#383865: linux-source-2.6.17: crash: hostap_cs & orinoco_cs both loading for same card?
Package: linux-source-2.6.17
Version: 2.6.17-6
Severity: normal
I have a wireless PCMCIA card that works fine on another machine using kernel 2.
6.16/hotplug, but locks this machine up hard every time using 2.6.16 and 2.6.17
and udev (requires power down and reboot). Crash occurs both on card insertion a
nd on boot with card already inserted.
On the machine where the card works:
cardctl ident:

manfid: 0x0156, 0x0002

On the machine that crashes, normally there is nothing interesting written to th
e logs after I reboot. However, syslog tails sometimes show a few lines at crash
time:
syslog tail showed this one time on crash (2.6.16 or 2.6.17, not sure):
kernel: pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0
kernel: cs: memory probe 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff: excluding

kernel: pcmcia: register new device pcmcia0.0

another syslog tail (kernel 2.6.17):
kernel: pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0
kernel: pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.0
kernel: orinoco 0.15rc3 (David Gibson.....
And one time I swear I saw what looked like orinoco_cs and hostap_cs loading at
same time, which I am thinking might be the problem?
