detected fid change

[James Harper]

I'm still getting failures on my smp system under any sort of load. Eg
flood pings with large packet sizes.

The sort of message I'm getting is:
Dec 31 20:49:16 portal kernel: wifi0: detected fid change (try=0,
reg=0040): 0000 0396 0396

Running 2.6.0 and CVS that was released the same day as 2.6.0.

I never got the chance to try Denis's patch to check race conditions, is
it worth trying?
