           Summary: yenta_socket IRQ woes w/ NetGear WG511T ("IRQ#11: nobody
                    cared" either, but a different one)
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386
               URL: http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/3/19/11
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: patch
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: linux
        AssignedTo: fabbione at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: dom at kilimandjaro.dyndns.org
         QAContact: kernel-bugs at lists.ubuntu.com


I have the exact same configuration and symptoms as discussed on the LKML and solved   
by Daniel Ritz a few days ago (see this bug's title URL for the thread): Medion   
laptop, Netgear WG511T CardBus wifi card in yenta_socket PCMCIA controller => no Wifi   
joy on a random basis about 9 cold boots out of 10, card appears to hang halfway   
through the WLAN hooking process and "IRQ#11: nobody cared" shows up in dmesg.   
   
NOTE: this appears related to, but NOT a duplicate of bug #5234, as my problem +   
solution is CardBus-specific. I'm no IRQ routing expert though, and I could be wrong.   
    
Anyway, to solve my problem, I need to *both* boot with the irqpoll option *and* apply   
the two patches recommended by Daniel Ritz in the aforementioned thread. I am   
attaching said (consolidated) patch against Ubuntu's 2.6.10-5-686 kernel source base   
(one should apply it to the sources after everything in debian/patches).   
   
Please (oh, please! :-) apply the patch to Hoary's kernel, even if you do not intend   
to make irqpoll the default in order to solve #5234: as you'll understand, no Wifi 
means that this Ubuntu zealot's preaching mission is jeopardized :-)
