Public bug reported:
I've tested every kernel from 2.6.22-12 to 2.6.22-14 and all three
exhibit the same symptoms that are absent in 2.6.22-11.
I'm using a Gateway MX3410 with Realtek RTL-8185 wireless.
06:09.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8185 IEEE
802.11a/b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 20)
In all the kernels, all is fine until I try to associate to a wireless
access point. As soon as it associates, the machine locks up and the
caps lock light flashes.
I originally thought it was ndiswrapper-related, but I tried the GPL
drivers for my card (r8180) in 2.6.22-14 and it did the exact same
thing.
I'm using WPA2 on my AP and haven't tried it with an unencrypted one
yet, but at this point my guess is either wpasupplicant or the kernel
wireless stack is unhappy here. Considering I'm using the same laptop,
same wpasupplicant, with 2.6.22-11 fine...
