I'm not quite certain when Werner MFCed the changes to stable, but I'm pretty sure it was just before the code freeze so July 24 is probably pre-change. Upgrade to 4.4 should automagically change over to PCI interrupts. If this does not work correctly, the two sysctls to almost always fix it are pretty well documented in a LARGE number of Werner's messages. Last I knew the only popular CardBus chips that were still flaky were Cypress Semi, if I recall. (Since I have none of these, I guess I didn't pay too much attention.) I think they were used primarily on Comapq laptops. I hope I have all these details right, but I know they are very close. I have seen no reports of failures since 4.4 came out except for a couple that were fixed with the sysctls. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
