with kernel-2.6.43.1-2.fc15.x86_64 I get "authentication with timed out".

kernel-2.6.42.12-1.fc15.x86_64 is working fine.

Comment 1 John W. Linville 2012-04-10 17:07:30 UTC

That really isn't much information.  Let's start with seeing the output from running 'dmesg' after you observe the problem.  Does the connectiong get established eventually?

Comment 8 John W. Linville 2012-04-12 15:02:41 UTC

On a hunch, I'm building some test kernels w/ a patch (actually a revert) from upstream:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3985606

When they finish building, please give them a try and post the results here -- thanks!
