https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=676785 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=676785#c0 Summary: loading module brcm80211 cause system freeze Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: RC 2 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: AndreasTumbas@web.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b11) Gecko/20110203 Firefox/4.0b11 Loading the kernel module brcm80211 and activating network cause the system to freeze completely. The error didn't occur in first place. It started with a failed wake up from suspend (maybe related to https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=674245 ). After that crash, the device causes the system to freeze, even when used from a clean environment (OpenSUSE 11.4 RC2 Live CD). Hardware is a BCM4313 (14e4:4727) on Hewlett Packard HP 625 WT146EA#ABD Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.Fix symlinks to Firmware (11.4 RC2) and reload module brcm80211 2.Try suspend/wake up until crash 3.Boot the system and try to activate wireless network Actual Results: System freeze Expected Results: Activate wireless This bug in Debian sounds identical, but the recommended workaround has no effect: http://www.debianhelp.org/node/17078 -- 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.

The problem is just that the brcm40211 driver is too unstable. A wordaround is to blaclist the brcm40211 driver in order to reactivate the broadcom-wl driver (as at current stage, the wl driver is much more usable) procedure are as follows: goto directory /etc/modprobe.d cat find the file 50-blacklist.conf add blacklist brcm80211 to the end of the file ---------------------------------------- this has solved the problem for me on opensuse 11.4 GM -- 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.

Blacklisting doesn't help, situation in Ubuntu 11.04 is the same, it probably occurs in Arch and Fedora too.

BUT you are without wired connection. If you need it, just run "modprobe atl1c" in terminal.

AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) It loads module ath9k for wifi and atl1c for ethernet. There are two problems: 1) The system freezed during booting without connected ethernet network (when system is running, it is not necessary to have a connected ethernet, also hibernation and sleeping are without problem) 2) The system freezed when is not connected ethernet and detects any wireless network I solve it by workaround with blacklisted module atl1c (http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/laptop/454356-ace...) -- 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.
