    SubjectRe: Yenta CardBus IRQ storm disabling interrupt
    Hi Russell,

    This is a different card (NetGear WG511U) than the USB card that
    was discussed in the previous thread. I haven't tried a 2.4.x kernel
    yet, but that was on my list of things to do. :) Unfortunately, this is
    the only machine I've got which has CardBus so I'd have a hard time
    attempting to reproduce on another machine.

    Mike
