This strikes me more or less as a driver bug then. If a buffer is needed in that memory range, why isn't it allocated as soon as the driver loads, and not released anymore? I think we are talking about something like 16KB isn't it? But I suppose I should be talking to kernel people, not to a debian list. Eric -- E.L.
