https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=450181 Summary: "Atheros AR5BXB63" WiFi card and "ath5k_pci" driver Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Beta 4 Platform: x86 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jimomura@pathcom.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Beta-Customer First Detected in Beta 4, 2008/11/11 Acer Aspire One, Model ZG5, AOA 150-1249 "Atheros AR5BXB63" "FCC ID: PPD-AR5BXB63" Detected as: - "Atheros AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter" attached through: - "Intel 82801G (ICH7 Family) PCI Express Port 3" pci.subsys_vendor = 'Foxconn International, Inc.'" Latest detected in Beta 5, Kernel "2.6.27.7-3.1" Wireless Router: SMC2804WBRP-G (*Type 751-7879) Problem: Randomly, normal WiFi activity will cause the Wireless Router to crash stopping all communication with this computer or any other until it is rebooted. The only clue is in the activity summary. The following is the entry corresponding with the crash, and identified as related to this computer: "**SYN Flood to Host** . . . (from WAN Outbound)" This report is primarily for information at this point. This is a problem which has not been uncommon, and is fixed by a driver or firmware change. In the case of this particular combination of hardware, I found it before using the originally supplied "Linpus Lite" software provided by Acer. A later driver update for "Linpus Lite" corrected the problem. Since "Linpus Lite" is based on Fedora 8 (with some Fedora 7 left over), it appears that the Fedora guys have fixed their driver. At any rate, I have not researched a patch, so I cannot provide further information at this time. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
