Hi folks,

Booting into 2.4.20 I found the following warning in my logs:
"Warning: kfree_skb on hard IRQ d0845d25"

Does it ring a bell?
Is it bad ?

Kind regards,
Harm Verhagen

[1.] One line summary of the problem:
Enabling my USB ethernet card gives the warning above.

[2.] Full description of the problem/report:

Steps to reproduce:
1) boot into single mode linux 2.4.20
2) ifup eth0 (my usb ethernet card, using the kaweth.o driver)
3) Warnings are printed.

I did not get these warnings with 2.4.19.
Btw, I had to add the the following line to get the device working with
2.4.19 to get the device recognized.

[4.] Kernel version (from /proc/version):

2.4.20: no patches at all.

[5.] Output of Oops.. message (if applicable) with symbolic information
resolved (see Documentation/oops-tracing.txt)

No Oops.
I added a show_stack(NULL); where the kernel prints the "Warning:
