this card is one of the newer PCI-E cards. If any other info is needed

Is this issue still present in 2.6.10-rc2-git1?

If yes, was 2.6.19 working fine?


This seems to be fixed in 2.6.20-rc2-git1. Still having other issues
with the driver, but the oops in the SoftMAC code is resolved now at least.

I have just started working with the PCI-E BCM4311 that is in my new computer. It receives data OK,
but there is something wrong with the DMA out stuff in bcm43xx-softmac - at least for x86_64. All
the slots get full but nothing is ever transmitted. FWIW, the wireless-dev git tree works. I'm using
it for communications now. I'm using openSUSE 10.2 which uses NetworkManager to configure my WPA-PSK
TKIP encrypted network. The signal strengths are roughly the same as I got for my old BCM4306 card.

I will post any fixes for the DMA problem as soon as they are available, but it may be a while. I
will be off-line until Thursday while I attend a funeral.
