Hi,

thanks for the help so far.

I have never filed a bug report and it will take me some time to read
through the docs and collect the necessary debug-information.
This will happen probably only later this week.

please take my apology for this delay.

best,
Volker

Hi,

I have often a problem with the wireless driver iwlagn after wakeup from
standby:
When i attempt to connect to a wireless network, it very often results
in the machine hanging: I can see that the root process event/1 consumes
100% computation time and keyboard input does not work anymore. All I
can do is turn off the machine using the powerbutton.
Sometimes, the HW-switch for the wireless manages to shut down the
wireless driver, which also stops the event/1 process from using 100%
computation time. Then, a rmmod and modprobe of iwlagn _sometimes_ helps.

This concerns the X200s, opensuse and kernel 2.6.27.


Which specific 2.6.27 kernel?

I say this as we have fixed some iwlagn driver issues very recently
(last week), so if you could verify that the kernel in the
kernel-of-the-day still has these problems (or not), and let us know,
that would be great.

thanks,

Hi Greg,

I should have said this, sorry:

This problem happens with 2.6.27.7-9 as well as with 2.6.27.17-9.

The kernel 2.6.27.17-9 I have downloaded last friday from the
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel: branch, and I compiled
it locally as a 64bit kernel.

My wireless card is the iwl5300ABGN (gets recognized as iwl5100)


Please file a bug so we can trach it that way.

thanks,

greg k-h
