I did find a similar bug report: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93341 But a comment there mentions the same behaviour in Windows too, which might indicate a hardware problem, or possibly something in the BIOS? You could try filing your own bug (Drivers / Platform), or maybe try replacing the wireless card. -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 6FAB5CD5
