Addonics EXPRESS CARD Adapter + Dell Inspiron 6400

[sniper9]

Just want to report a few problems I am having with a Addonics EXPRESS CARD Adapter (ADEXC34CB) and a Dell inspiron 6400. This device is a simple 32-bit cardbus to ExpressCard adapter which has a few flaws so far as listed below:

1) ExpreesCard Adpater needs to be inserted just before OS boot, leaving the adapter in results completely in screen loss untill a complete pown down is done, I put mine in when grub loads.

2) Inserting the Card when In Backtrack 3 results in X server going crazy, the computer will beep and than the mouse starts to move very slowly than does not work at all.

3) this is the good one. the laptop comes with an Intel 3945 mini-PCI card, putting my Ubiquiti SRC in RF Monitor mode results in the entire eth1 interface dying and the computer giving a BIOS beep. Trying my wired Interface eth0 will not connect to anything after that.

Other than all that, It works just fine with My SRC (RF Monitor Mode/ Station Mode), when you play the game right ;)

If anyone wants some more Info just let me know.

FIX: add 'irqpoll' boot option to the END your GRUB boot file:

kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 ro vga=790 irqpoll

All my Network Interfaces now work just fine!!!!! And no more IRQ's stomping on each other toes!
