[Prism54-users] WG511 card (islpci_mgt_response) lockup

[James C. Clark]

I still have this problem and can repeat it pretty consistently if I load
the card heavily. Things work properly if the throughput is low and even
when it locks up it does not lock up my machine. A simple cardctl
eject/cardctl insert gets things working again. I have been patiently
waiting for the fix to fall out of one of the other changes. I upgrade the
module every couple of days.

Since I haven't seen lots of complaints about this I assume it is not a
general problem but something related to this card and/or my setup. I
would be more than willing to do some testing and troubleshooting if
someone would point me in the right direction about what to look for.
