Well, during discussion in other thread we have figured that
twe driver is actually pretty harmless and does not cause kernel
panic.And I also figured that accessing extended error log of 3dm
via web interface causes kernel to panic when the link is clicked
very fast several times.
Here is what i think. 3DM is only an application and IMHO
error in an application must not cause kernel panic but such
applications must be terminated w/o futher consiquences to
the OS running.So, the problem with kernel panic
when using extended error log in 3dm , again IMHO,
is cause by either buggy kernel or buggy driver. I mean, 3dm
passes some data to the driver which makes do bad things or
3dm passes some data to the kernel syscall which make kernel
panic. Either way, *IMHO*, the part that must be fixed first is
not 3dm, because it is just an external process relative to the kernel.
What do you think?
