Description Dan Capizzi 2005-07-11 12:01:36 UTC

The rt2500 drivers must be compiled with 4k stacks - 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Utilize a kernel compiled with 8k stacks
2. Use emerge to build and install rt2500 (emerge rt2500)
3. Attempt to load the module (modprobe rt2500)
Actual Results:  
"module failed to load"
dmesg indicates that modprobe requires 4KSTACKS to be present in order to load
the module.

Expected Results:  
Module (when configured with 4k stacks) should load properly.

It's exactly the other way round. It only works w/ 8Kb stacks.
