adm8211 unregister netdevice


Hi there,

Maybe someone can help...

I'm using adm8211 drivers from aluminum.sourmilk.net with an SMC 2635W and while the card works fine, it comes to a point where whenever it is ejected I get a semi fatal unregister_netdevice error which no longer allows any networking.

Maybe someone can help.

Thanks a lot,
-paf

Maybe you should take the card down before you eject it

ifconfig device down

Then eject.

This is a known problem. If you can, avoid ejecting the card for now unless you need to share the card or card slot.

Said and done...

Works like a charm...

I'll keep trying the releases you get out and post any issues, in the meantime, if you want me to test anything, let me know.

Thanks a lot, awesome effort.

Rgds,
