Package: firmware-iwlwifi Version: 0.14 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
Hello! I have a Fujitsu-Siemens AMILO Xi 2550 notebook with Intel 4965 Wi-Fi. You can see the details of the hardware at my homepage: http://phd.pp.ru/notebooks/FujitsuSiemens_AMILO_Xi2550.html. $ lspci | grep -F 4965 04:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61) I was using firmware-iwlwifi 0.14, iwlwifi-4965-ucode-228.57.2.21, and the notebook regularly hanged - the system stuck and was flashing Capslock+Scrollock indicating a kernel panic. I found a similar bug report at http://intellinuxwireless.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1744 and did what it advised - downgraded to iwlwifi-4965-ucode-4.44.1.20 downloaded from http://intellinuxwireless.org/?n=downloads&f=ucodes_4965. After the downgrade I haven't experienced any hangs. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.KOI8-R (charmap=KOI8-R) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash firmware-iwlwifi depends on no packages. firmware-iwlwifi recommends no packages.
