Yes, the semantics changed slightly in the net-2.6.24 tree the other week and someone needs to fix it up. The netif_napi_add() implicitly does a napi_disable() call. Device open must explicitly napi_enable() and device close must explicitly napi_disable(), and if done elsewhere these calls must be strictly balanced. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
