Hi all ,

Is it possible to use the add_timer function within an interrupt
handler ? I've tried to do this in the interrupt handler of
the wavelan network card device driver but it causes a page fault and
the machine hangs.

>From the dump, it shows the swapper as being the process which causes it.

I can post this if necessary, but I'd just like to know if anyone
does this and if it's a bad thing etc.

Cheers ,

John Sheehy
