RE: Wi drivers

   I have seen the same problem since 4.6.1.   I CVSed up to 4.6.2-STABLE as
of 6 days ago and still see the problem.  

   I am using a PCMCIA SMC2632W on a Toshiba laptop.  So far it seems to
happen when there is no carrier and some packets are sent to the driver.  I
run dhcp on that interface so the dhclient will case the problem as it tries
to poll the network.  It seem to get stuck on a polling or interupt loop and
consume all the CPU.  If I kill the dhclient then it will run for a lot
longer until some thing else tries use the interface.

    It doesn't seem to happen all the time.

Subject: Wi drivers


I don't know if it's an issue with drivers or not, but whenever my
Linksys card looses it's carrier, it slows the system up REALLY bad, and
I get errors "wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear.".  And from what I
could tell, this started happening as soon as I upgraded to 4.6-STABLE.
Anyone seen this before?
