Oh, I forgot one note: "make patch_kernel" is terribly broken. Any chance to 
get this fixed soon?

Wow, great news on this rainy saturday! ;-)

The driver works perfectly, I'm writing this mail via wireless link. However 
there are two things to note:

The driver generates two network devices. The second one is for promicious 
mode? Is there any chance to disable the interface? ifrename renamed the 
wrong one to wlan0 and I had to tell my system to use eth1 for the wireless 
connection.

Second problem is that I can't unload the module. I get the message "FATAL: 
Module iwlwifi is in use." even if both interfaces are down.

I think you should not recreate linux/config.h but remove the reference to 
it...

I prepared such a patch [0] some time ago. It makes the file .patches in 
kernel source tree available via /proc/patches.gz. Read the discussion on 
lkml [1] to get more information. It still appies to actual kernels.

IRQ problem with PCMCIA

2005-08-21 Thread Hesse, Christian
Hello everybody,

seems like I have a problem with PCMCIA/PCCARD. If I transfer data to or from 
a CF card inserted via adapter system waits for interrupts most of the time:

Cpu(s): 21.2% us,  7.9% sy,  0.0% ni,  0.0% id,  1.7% wa, 69.2% hi,  0.0% si

This results in a very unresponsive system and a transfer rate of up to 1MB/s 
(my new camera writes with up to 10MB/s on the card...).

Any idea what could be the reason? This is with 2.6.12/pcmcia-cs and with 
2.6.13-rc*/pcmciautils. The CF card is a Lexar 1GB.
