so as a workaround this should fix the kernel-panics (thank you to Stanislaw from LKML)
"sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off" with that you are disabling the powermanagement of wifi-card After that "iwconfig" should show that the powermanagement is disabled. michael@eeebuntu:~$ iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:off/any Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=20 dBm Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:on You can reenable power-management with "sudo iwconfig wlan0 power on" We dont need to built a new kernel to test that, so everyone should be able to do some testings. To fix the issue with the power-management a patch already exist and should be built into the (ubuntu)kernel when the workaround (mentioned above) will work -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/869502 Title: Kernel-Panic with 3.0.0.12-generic on asus eee pcs and msi wind (both using rt2800 wifi chipset) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/869502/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
