Actually, this looks like a latent bug in sc92031. It's calling spin_lock in the dev->open function on a lock that's held in BH context. [SC92031]: Fix priv->lock context The spin_lock calls made in dev->open and dev->close must disable BH since open/close are made in process context. Conversely, the call in dev->hard_start_xmit does not need to disable BH since it is already executing with BH disabled.
