[realtek] Cardbus problem with "kmem_free"

[Jesse op den Brouw]

Hi,

I've bought a Dynalink cardbus card and it's working like a charm now
using the drivers supplied by Don Becker (took me some time to 
trace down the drivers....).

But I'm wondering about kernel message containing kmem_free and alloc_skb.
 Here's what the messages file
looks like (I'm using Red Hat 6.2). I'm using dhcpcd but I'm not connected
right now so that's why you see those errors.

While removing the card gives me this:

Please mail me direct as I'm not on the list (I tried to but I got
an error messsage that the request mail address didn't exist).
