Just so folks will know, I uncovered and fixed an NDIS-related LOR last night/this morning. Check out PR 72795 for the details and fix. Turns out ndis_start() was failing to release the NDIS lock on one path through the code... It might explain a number of crashes I saw before I switched wireless cards. After, of course, the system became unusably unstable due the the crashes, it wouldn't run for more than an hour and sometimes only a few minutes before stumbling over the dangling lock. (I also have to say that being able to use the firewire port as the console really made a huge difference; this laptop doesn't have a serial port other than the internal Winmodem.) -- Frank Mayhar frank@exit.com http://www.exit.com/ Exit Consulting http://www.gpsclock.com/ http://www.exit.com/blog/frank/
