Hi Tomas,
so besides the point that the Ubuntu 8.10 kernel has a broken
driver for
the Intel 4965 cards which will crash my X61 after less than one
minute
uptime when it connects to my access point, I have my dmesg full
with
warnings from the latest wireless-testing kernel.
I know that we have discussed this before and Johannes' patch at
least
turns it into warnings instead of killing my system completely,
but I am
still surprised why this hasn't been fixed.
so this becomes more and more annoying. I get this WARN_ON now
multiple
times pre minute. Only the first few minutes after loading the
firmware
everything is okay and then it keeps filling my dmesg. And on top
of
that, I
now see these:

What is going on here? This is a normal setup and nothing fancy.
Access
point is N-Capable from D-Link btw.
I have D-Link too I don't see this. What kernel version is this? Is
this your ubuntu version or wireless-testing?
Any more data you can provide (.config. slabinfo)
this is from wireless-testing. The Ubuntu 2.6.27 kernel is totally
broken.
It will crash the kernel since we are missing the patch to turn
this into a
warning :)
Attached is my config. The slabinfo will follow once the SKB errors
come up
again. It normally takes a few hours before they show. Just resumed
that
machine.
I've downloaded whole moblin last night over 2.6.27.4, it's a bit slow
because the missing calibrations but it didn't crashed.
I will test your config, your machine is T61 am I right?
I have a X61 and running the 64-bit version of kernel and userspace.
Regards
Marcel
