Dear all, ath5k is causing too much trouble in my toshiba laptop that I have removed it from /etc/modprobe.conf. At the meantime, I also disabled NetworkManager and NetworkManagerDispatcher, I'll have to compile madwifi to enable wireless. This bug has appeared in the other kernels, but since I can live without wireless for the meantime, I have not complained as much. Thanks to all who have advised me to blacklist ath5k, sorry to have taken long to put your advice into effect. Will try madwifi later on to check status of wireless.
