SubjectRe: dm9000 patch
Hi Angelo,

The best way to get the contact info for a piece of kernel code, is using the
get_maintainer.pl script. Running 'scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f
drivers/net/dm9000.c' gives the following output:

netdev@vger.kernel.org
linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org

I added both to Cc.

You should try to update to the latest .36 kernel, which is currently
2.6.36.2. The problem that you experience might be unrelated to the dm9000
driver (or to networking at all), so it might have been fixed in this version.

Try to enable KALLSYMS in your kernel .config to make your stack trace more
meaningful. This is under 'General setup -> Configure standard kernel features
(for small systems) -> Load all symbols for debugging/ksymoops'.

I hope this helps.
