• versions later than 1.0.1 OOPS after some random time when machine is idle
  • UPDATE: version 1.0.1 also OOPS-es but it takes much longer to hit the race (> 2h)
• original backport for 2.4.x kernels emulates workqueues using timers which seens unsafe

Status:

• ipw2200 in SLC 4.x works correctly so there is not much point in maintaining this backport
  • also SLC 4.x is recommended for laptop users because of other reasons
• if there is a need somebody can check if the "idle-OOPS" problem is present in pre-1.0.1 versions of the driver which are available from dellaric's homepage (and which are much simpler than newer versions)
