Hi Maurice, I have googled a few minutes to find this: http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2006-05/msg00610.html I don''t have a BCM4401 NIC so I can''t test it. Perhaps it might help... Have you also tried out the newest driver version from Broadcom? Between it has nothing to do with the debain kernel... it seems to be a bug in the dma allocation.

Hi Maurice, I''ve never installed xen from precompiled binaries, so a few questions: - what version of b44 module is telling you: "/sbin/modinfo b44" - have you a direcory called "/lib/modules/2.6.18.8-xen/.build" in your tree? I guess you have 2.6.18.8 kernel? "uname -r" prints kernel version. Let''s see if we can build module b44 in newest verion. I don''t know if it''s fixed then, but perhaps we should give a try.

Hi Maurice, ok then everything is fine. I missunderstood "the following link helped me install xen 3.1.0 with my BCM4401 card" I thought you had not solved the problem until now. Sorry.
