AT91 UDC softirq problem

[Mars Steeve]

Hi,


I'm currently working on an AT91SAM9G20 based board, and I encounter a problem 
with the USB Gadget driver (at91_udc) and the Ethernet gadget with RNDIS 
support.
The board shall be connected with USB on a Windows platform (Vista or Seven) and 
communicate with an embedded http server (lighttpd), that's why I need the RNDIS 
support (I read on the Internet that vista supports CDC ECM but I don't know how 
to use it).

I first tried a 2.6.34 kernel version but unfortunately the link was very 
unstable, I lost 10% of my ICMP ping packet  and the HTTP browsing is unusable.
Note: I have no problem with CDC ECM and a Linux host.

Then I compiled a 2.6.36-rc2 kernel (with the at91_udc softirq patch) and now my 
link is stable but I always have a warning message when I plug my device on the 
host:

Is this message important or can I still use this version without problem in the 
future ?

Thanks
