When my kernel 2.6.13 is active and i'm inserting my wireless card (netgear wg511) in the pcmcia slot the system hangs. It still hangs when i reboot and the card is in the pcmcia slot. Then the kernel hangs befor probing for ide-interfaces (i think). There are no error messages in any log file and the Magic-SysReqKey won't work. I compiled pcmcia as kernel-module and in kernel - same result. I think it's an error in the pcmcia implementation, because i read in the kernel-changelog that there was much changed - or? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. insert wireless card 2. turn on pc and boot with 2.6.13 kernel Actual Results: The system hangs without any error message. This is from my 2.6.11 kernel-boot-log, because 2.6.13 hangs, with my wireless card ---cut--- Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M FDC 0 is a post-1991 82077 RAMDISK driver initialized: 16 RAM disks of 4096K size 1024 blocksize Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 7.00alpha2 ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx VP_IDE: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:11.1 VP_IDE: chipset revision 6 VP_IDE: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later VP_IDE: VIA vt8231 (rev 10) IDE UDMA100 controller on pci0000:00:11.1 ide0: BM-DMA at 0x1100-0x1107, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio ide1: BM-DMA at 0x1108-0x110f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:pio ---my 2.6.13 kernel hangs now---- Probing IDE interface ide0... hda: IC25N030ATCS04-0, ATA DISK drive ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 Probing IDE interface ide1... hdc: UJDA740 DVD/CDRW, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15 acer ~ # lspci -vv 0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.

Are you using the in-kernel prism54 driver - or the external modules from net-wireless/prism54? Are you using pcmcia-cs or pcmciautils? Please attach the output of `emerge --info` as asked in the bug submission form.
Oh, nevermind the pcmcia-cs/pcmciautils question - it seems you prism54 card is a CardBus card, not a PCMCIA card.
Created attachment 67544 [details] emerge --info
I'm using the in-kernel prism54 driver and yes it's a cardbus card.
Does this happen only with linux-2.6.13 - or can you reproduce it using linux-2.6.12.x?
It happens only when I use a 2.6.13 kernel. There is no problem with a 2.6.12-r10 kernel.
Please report this upstream at http://bugzilla.kernel.org and paste the bug number here.

.
This was fixed in 2.6.14 (see upstream bug)
