Description Arnaud Van Remoortere 2008-03-09 22:18:42 UTC
Description of problem: 

Bringing wlan0 up on 2.6.24.3-12.fc8 using rt73usb freezes the OS with no
possibility of recovery.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

This usb wireless adapter still works very well when I revert back to
kernel-2.6.23.15-137.fc8 which was the last 2.6.23 kernel I was able to update
to before 2.6.24


How reproducible: reproduces itself without fail


Steps to Reproduce:
1. insert USB wireless adapter
2. ifconfig wlan0 up
3.
  
Actual results: 

Complete OS freeze, not even possible to restart X using ctrl-alt-backspace


Expected results: wlan0 coming up
