This seems to affect me, too. Got an IBM thinkpad X31. If I remember right it started with ath5k and kernel 2.6.31-20.
Regarding Brian's suspicion: My Laptop gets the model right and crashes nevertheless... lspci: 02:02.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01) dmesg: ath5k phy0: Atheros AR5212 chip found (MAC: 0x56, PHY: 0x41) Had a similar problem with madwifi a year and a half ago. I can not really reproduce it, although while I have been running transmission and surfing with firefox/chrome at the same time I almost everytime got the kernel panic sooner or later. -- ath5k kernel panic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/581284 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
