Hi all, I am experiencing system freezes at boot time or when fiddling with wireless network configuration. I have LinkSys WMP54G wireless network card based on the infamous RaLink chip, which I think is the source of my problems. However, the F9 release notes claim that it should work. I used the same system in F8 and every other kernel upgrade cause the system to hang at boot time. Eventually I upgraded to F9 hoping the it will improve the situation. When using default boot sequence in F9 my system hangs when starting haldaemon. And anyway it did not bring the network interface up at boot, so I had to change the boot sequence. I disabled NetworkManager and I start "network" service after "wpa_supplicant". Because wpa_supplicant needs a few moments to negotiate the encryption keys, I moved the "network" service even further, after haldaemon. Now the network is brought up at boot, but occasionally wpa_supplicant does not negotiate the encryption key. If I try to restart wpa_supplicant the system freezes. Every time. And it freezes so badly that SysRqKey does not work. I need help on creating a good bug report. The problem is that with the default configuration my system freezes at boot or goes up without the network. When I modify the startup sequence it eihter work ok, or I have to reboot several time in order to get the wpa_supplicant to work in the first place. First important question is: which component is responsible? kernel? wpa_supplicant? hald? Or maybe I'm using something wrong and I should use the NetworkManager instead?
