Hi,

I recently compiled the rather experimental if_wpi driver (Interl 3945 
Wireless Card)

Now I noticed it would take quite a long time to unload or rather it 
wouldn't unload because of a bug, so I tried to repeatedly unload it and 
I had a kernel segfault followed by a reboot :)

I wondered whether the actual module has a bug that provokes this segv?

Who handles such an event?

cheers a lot,

Steve Clement
