Hardware: Athlon 64 3000 in 64 bits mode (Acer Aspire 1511Lmi laptop) Distro: Bluewhite64 Since 2.6.32-rc1, with main debug options, I get the following message in dmesg log each time a ping request is issued: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth1: link becomes ready CPUFREQ: Per core ondemand sysfs interface is deprecated - up_threshold NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08 NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08 NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08 NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08 NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08 NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08 NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08 etc. The command issue is: ping www.google.fr and the message stops as soon as I kill ping. The problem may come from the network driver. For information, the connection is established by WPA Wifi with the b43 driver: b43 ssb0:0: firmware: requesting b43/ucode5.fw b43 ssb0:0: firmware: requesting b43/pcm5.fw b43 ssb0:0: firmware: requesting b43/b0g0initvals5.fw b43 ssb0:0: firmware: requesting b43/b0g0bsinitvals5.fw b43-phy0: Loading firmware version 410.2160 (2007-05-26 15:32:10)
