Hello, I have been working with the m8xx_pcmcia driver for a couple days now and have a few questions about it that I'm hopping someone could answer or at least point me in the right direction. Does anyone know if Magnus Damm is still working on this driver? His email address at [email protected] returned user unknown. Does anyone know specific boards this driver has been tested with? The reason I ask these questions is that I suspect this driver might be the cause of a problem I'm having. I have tried using Lucent WaveLAN/IEEE and Netgear 802.11b cards on the RPXLite (mpc823 processor) and keep having problems. I've tried different types of cards and experience similar problems. The WaveLAN card works, but during large transfers (or with a ping -s 500 -f rpxlite) I get a kernel panic. The Netgear card gives me a similar error, but no kernel panic. And other cards, like the 3Com Megahertz 3CCFEM566B have the same behaviour. I've attached bellow the error I get when the kernel crashes using the WaveLAN card in case anyone cares to look at it. Any pointers would be appreciated, Thank you. -- Sébastien Taylor Programmer PsiNaptic, Inc.
