Bottomline question still : where to look for causes of the freeze - after appr. 10 minutes of good operation ?
Jan, there has been some discussion lately about the powersaved thingie causing some random freezes. As I understand it, it aint needed on anything but laptops, MAYBE!
I uninstalled it on all my machines, including the laptops, and no more freezes the past week. You might give that a try. Jan, I made sure it wasnt working by uninstalling the thing via YAST.
I have since been reading more about the powersaved and it warns you that you must not have apm or acpi daemons running while powersave is going. You can verify they are off by doing a: chkconfig apmd chkconfig acpid as root. If not running or not there the response will be on the next line. If either is on then you may have had a conflict with powersave. There is a little bit of info in /usr/share/doc/packages/powersave. BTW, I'm running the same kernel you are with ndiswrapper on one laptop and driverloader on the other and both are working fine.. Have you tried the driverloader from linuxant? I had to go to it for my dell after an upgrade screwed up the nidswrapper stuff. I have a compaq that the ndiswrapper works fine on. Same type of chipset though. Richard
