2.6.6 & prism54: Computer gets stuck pretty often
Hi folks,
I am not sure how to reproduce this reliably, but using the prism54 device my i386 machine gets stuck pretty often (about 3 times a day). The mouse freezes, I cannot switch to another vt, but Alt-SysRq-b works.
If I use an old 3c59x PCI card to connect to the net, then there is no such problem.
Kernel is 2.6.6 (without any patches).
Is there any way I could help to find a fix?
Regards
Harri

Driver for prism54 is pretty young. Please visit prism54.org and fill in a bug report. Consider reading already existing bug reports too.

It seems that there was a problem with the firmware. I grabbed a new version from the manufacturer's ZIP file, and the problem is gone.
Thanx anyway
