Subject : 2.6.31-rc2: Possible regression in rt61pci driver Submitter : Chris Clayton <chris2553@googlemail.com> Date : 2009-07-13 8:27 References : http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=124747418828398&w=4 This entry is being used for tracking a regression from 2.6.30. Please don't close it until the problem is fixed in the mainline.
