Let me rephrase my description as follows (editing doesn't seem to work for me, malformed JSON error):
Booting with wireless disabled by the hardware switch on my laptop works fine. Once i switch wireless on, a process 'iwl3945' immediately takes up 100% of CPU (on one out of two CPU's). I can't kill the process with 'sudo kill -9 pid'. Booting with wireless enabled causes the system to freeze in an early stage, hence the title of this bug report. 'sudo modprobe -r iwl3945' works fine, when called before wireless is enabled. -- enabling wireless (iwl3945) freezes system https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/443019 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
