It's known and considered nonfatal for now. Hi, I'd like to try this, but it does seem that for a number of things, the 2.6.18-4-powerpc kernel that ships with Etch is very stable and bug-free on my Powerbook G4 17". Is there any hope of backporting just the mac80211 and bcm43xx stuff to that kernel? The appletouch driver and (oddly enough) some aspects of bcm43xx (e.g. connecting at long distances) seem to work better on the Etch official kernel than on upstream kernel.org sources or branches of that.
