Last week at Debconf17, here in Montréal, Debian "Stretch" was installed on my machine during the Installfest. Since then, I have had several lcckups of the system. Machine: Lenovo G50-45, (purchased August 2015). 8 Gb Ram dual booting Windows 8.1 / Debian "Stretch" What happens: Whenever the screen goes to sleep / suspend mode,the system freezes (no response from the mouse or keyboard). My only recourse was to do a dirty shutdown via the power switch. The experts have determined that the consistent firmware crash is related to the drivers of my Qualcomm Atheros network card. Previously, i was able to use the wifi and bluetooth in Mint Linux (see thread here:Atheros QCA6164 0168c:0041 ver20 [SOLVED]
