[Asterisk-Users] modprobe wcfxo crashes my IBM NetFinity5000 after few seconds

[Rodolfo Grave]

Hi and thanks once more.

I moved the card around, and it kept the same IRQ. Then I went into 
setup and changed it. This is the output of lspci -v now:

01:04.0 Communication controller: Tiger Jet Network Inc. Intel 537
         Subsystem: Unknown device 8085:0003
         Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 144, IRQ 5
         I/O ports at 4b00 [size=256]
         Memory at c0fdf000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
         Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2

That's not a shared IRQ. However, the problem remains. Just after one 
min or so of executing modprobe wcfxo, the PC reboots.

Any other ideas? This card worked great on another PC, so a hardware 
missfunctioning is not a probable choice.
