Hiya,

Upgrade my laptop to use 2.4.18-rc1-ac6, and I noticed it had support for
more of my hardware. But it seems it also get's these "errors" in dmesg...

1) Prism2 - used to use the Wlan-NG drivers but since the rc/ac kernel has
this included I decided to test it

orinoco.c 0.11b (David Gibson <hermes@gibson.dropbear.id.au> and others)
PCI: Found IRQ 9 for device 02:02.0
PCI: Sharing IRQ 9 with 00:1d.2
PCI: Sharing IRQ 9 with 00:1f.1
Detected Orinoco/Prism2 PCI device at 02:02.0, mem:0xEC000000 to 0xEC000FFF
 -> 0xe978e000, irq:9
Reset

pci_cor : reg = 0x0 - 8F4B - 8F19
eth1: Station identity 001f:0006:0001:0003
eth1: Looks like an Intersil firmware version 1.03
eth1: Ad-hoc demo mode supported
eth1: IEEE standard IBSS ad-hoc mode supported
eth1: WEP supported, 104-bit key
eth1: MAC address 00:20:E0:8A:FC:BE
eth1: Station name "Prism I"
eth1: ready

I'm getting this message every now and then..

Jul 19 00:50:04 mgr kernel: eth1: Undersized frame received (19 bytes)
Jul 19 00:51:05 mgr last message repeated 2 times
Jul 19 00:51:26 mgr kernel: eth1: Undersized frame received (12 bytes)
Jul 19 00:51:36 mgr kernel: eth1: Undersized frame received (19 bytes)

The connection works, but these packages are a bit strange even tho ;)

The AP is an AiroNet AP 3400.

2) 2.4.18+* works great in console mode.

but when ever I get into X my logs get filled with :
mtrr: no more MTRRs available
mtrr: no more MTRRs available
mtrr: no more MTRRs available
mtrr: no more MTRRs available

Is there any way to battle this?

On the brighter side of life.. 2.4.18-rc1-ac6 seems to be recognizing my
hardware better than the 2.4.18-vanilla kernel. Now my cpu is detected
correctly instead of being a 733MHZ..

Best regards

Arnvid
