It seems on 32 bit kernels page_address() can reutrn a NULL value in some circumstances, and the pci_map_single api isn't prepared to handle that (on this system it results in a bogus pointer deference in nommu_map_page. The fix is pretty easy, if we convert the 3c59x driver to use the more convieient skb_frag_dma_map api we don't need to find the virtual address of the page at all, and page gets mapped to the hardware properly. Verified to fix the problem as described by the reporter. Applies to the net tree Change Notes: v2) Converted PCI_DMA_TODEVICE to DMA_TO_DEVICE. Thanks Dave! v3) Actually Run git commit after making changes to v2 :) Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> CC: klassert@mathematik.tu-chemnitz.de CC: "David S.
