Steps to reproduce: boot the PC, put it to the software suspend, wake it up, # rmmod forcedeth.

Is the suspend/resume operation a required step to make this occur? I assume so.

Do you know if this is a regression? In other words, did any earlier kernel perform these steps without crashing the machine?

Thanks.
