In the meantime: Is there perhaps something obviously wrong with drivers/ieee1394/eth1394.c's netdevice initialization? We do it in ether1394_add_host(), and shortly thereafter the crashing ether1394_host_reset() is called. So we have essentially (add host) dev = alloc_netdev(...); initialize various members in dev... register_netdev(dev); (host reset) netif_stop_queue(dev); discard some stale 1394 stuff if there were some... netif_wake_queue(dev); <-- crashes in __netif_schedule(dev); -- Stefan Richter -=====-==--- -=== =-=-= http://arcgraph.de/sr/ | ||||||||||
