Hi,

I'm using a Dell laptop with BCM4401-B0 network card, its using the b44 driver. It's working great with the 2.6.36 kernel, but with all .37 kernels so far it panics after about 7 seconds during startup with the following message: map_single: bounce buffer is not DMA'ble

After googling around I found that its caused by the b44 driver getting a buffer that it can't work with.
There's a patch here:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/522971/

Could it be included in the kernel?
TIA Morten

Sure, that'll be in the next version of Liquorix. You can see the code pushed here: git.zen-kernel.org/zen-stable/commit/?h=misc-2.6.37&id=88599f824750f7a684a2ee2b5c0c06d0c97b7828

I'm happy to report that 2.6.37-10 kernel is now working correctly for me and my Broadcom netcard.
Thanks again.
