Re: IRQ (routing ?) problem [was Re: epic100 in current -ac kernels]<

[Arnd Bergmann]

I noticed that there have been updates to epic100 again and just wanted
to note that the problem remains:
2.4.2-ac3 still crashes, but it works fine when I use the epic100.c
from 2.4.0-test9, which was the last working version for me.
