I have the desktop version of that card and I get exactly the same error
message - I find that it is related to the stress load of the network
card - try using up the bandwith (copying a large file across the local
WLAN for example) and see your card locking up!
Does CPU utilisation shoot up to 100% until you turn off the networking
interface too?
Hmm, now that you mention there is no problem with RH 7.2, I am rather
tempted to load an old kernel and see how it goes.. then again since my
card is the PCI version (orinoco_pci) I might get bitten by another
bug..
Already bugzilla'ed (for the desktop version),
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=75237
I find that the problem is really bad with the SMP kernel, which does
not apply to you (SMP notebooks, mama...). You might want to add
comments to that.
Dunno what a BAP is..
