Just an FYI.
I built 2.4.20-rc3 w/ the hermes/orinoco wireless ethernet driver (ver: 0.11b from in-kernel source). Everything would work fine until I started putting load on the network card. ksoftirqd_CPU would then peg the cpu usage to 100%, and the network connection would die. Popping the card out immediately would stop ksoftirqd from going crazy and everything would carry on fine (re-inserting the card, light network traffic, etc). I built and installed the orinoco-0.13beta1 code and that solved the problem.
Might a re-sync be considered before 2.4.20-final?
thanks -john
