SubjectRe: Atmel at76c50x PCMCIA 2.6.6 kernel panic
Dear Simon,

Is this patch still necessary? It wasn't merged in with 2.6.7 and I
haven't noticed it in the 2.6.8-rc1 changelog either. I'd test it
myself, but I don't have access to a wireless access point at the
moment.

Cheers,
Andrew "Netsnipe" Lau
