Looks like a pci/acpi-issue with your toshiba. the kernel can't find a useable irq for the yenta bridge. sometimes you can fix this with bios-entries, but i don't know the 2100. does the 2100 has a phoenix or a toshiba bios? If acpi is enabled on your lappi try to switch it off. If it's disabled try to enable it. use a kernel command line like acpi=off at the bootprompt: linux acpi=off However, acpi is quite useful for laptops. As the above dmesg output suggests you should try .. linux pci=biosirq linux pci=usepirqmask ..also. yet, i havn't seen this working. There are various other acpi-pci options you might try to get your IRQ-routing right. Have a look into kernel-parameters.txt from the kernelsources' Documentaion tree. btw. I have a WG511t and it's equiped with an atheros (madwifi) chip. > Thanks. > > Chris sl ritch -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
