Well yes, there are some personality issues here ;) But the main thing is
to struggle on and fix this bug, wherever it lies.

I don't think he knows how to obtain it.
Uwe, http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/git-wireless.patch.gz is the current
wireless tree. That's a patch against 2.6.22-rc3. Could you please test
that? If that works then we know that the bug probably lies outside the
b44 driver (or it was subsequently fixed).

err, please do. Just the oops trace would be a start.

Only git-wireless.net modifies b44.c but if we're having IRQ assignment
problems then we'd need to look elsewhere. I guess you could diff
rc2-mm1's b44.c against the expected version.

Well we don't know if that'll fix it.
I believe that Uwe said that reverting the b44.c changes from rc2-mm1 fixes
things for him? Odd, but it still doesn't rule out acip/pci/platform
changes as being the cause.
