Skipping the last -rc versions AND adding a new device (zd1211rw) to the box turns out to be quite interesting ([0],[1]). However, this time loading of a (proprietary) module is involved. Knowing that lkml cannot really help here (and I should contact vmware), I just wanted to let you netdev guys know, because the only occurences I found on the net were from 1999, but given the amount of changes currently going into net/ I thought this might be interesting: [15604.137408] RTNL: assertion failed at net/core/dev.c (2595) [15604.137772] [] show_trace_log_lvl+0x1a/0x30 [15604.138121] [] show_trace+0x12/0x20 [15604.138449] [] dump_stack+0x15/0x20 [15604.138807] [] __dev_set_promiscuity+0xc2/0xd0 [15604.139163] [] dev_set_promiscuity+0x1b/0x40 [15604.139515] [] VNetBridgeStartPromisc+0x2b/0x50 [vmnet] [15604.139896] [] VNetBridgePortsChanged+0x2a/0x40 [vmnet] [15604.140276] [] VNetHubPortsChanged+0x65/0xc0 [vmnet] [15604.140648] [] VNetConnect+0x7a/0xb0 [vmnet] [15604.141000] [] VNetFileOpOpen+0xbd/0x170 [vmnet] [15604.141362] [] chrdev_open+0x83/0x180 [15604.141696] [] __dentry_open+0xa1/0x1a0 [15604.142036] [] nameidata_to_filp+0x35/0x40 [15604.142383] [] do_filp_open+0x49/0x60 [15604.142717] [] do_sys_open+0x45/0x80 [15604.142957] [] sys_open+0x1c/0x20 [15604.143087] [] sysenter_past_esp+0x6b/0xb5 [15604.143227] ======================= details: http://nerdbynature.de/bits/2.6.23-rc5/ Christian.
