I don't know if it is a regression between .31 and .32. Before I upgraded to .32, I used a .31 kernel, but with compat-wireless. So I did not use the .31 wireless bits (there were some other breakages that I did not track down further) I was either using compat-wireless-2009-09-28 or compat-wireless-2009-10-28 I don't really remember exactly which one. I don't really know how to find out, though. I was using it for months and it was rock-stable. > Michael, it seems this is not easy to reproduce but can you try the > latest 2.6.33-rc code to see if the issue is also there?

Each failure will immediately result in people yelling at me. :D So I don't feel to well running an rc kernel on it... I currently have one and a half days of uptime. I think I'll first continue running .32 to check whether it happens again or if this was just some random hardware burp. I think it should be likely to trigger again within one or two days, if this is a bug. -- Greetings, Michael. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
