Description Rob K 2007-09-02 03:46:49 UTC
Description of problem:

NetworkManager times out when using kernel-2.6.22.5-71.fc7.
Works fine with kernel-2.6.22.2-57.fc7

If this is actually a NetworkManager issue please reassign as needed.

dmesg show:

Looks like the latest commit broke it.

It is still strange that the kernel update broke it as I can't see that commit
in the kernel.org kernel 2.6.22 updates. Perhaps fedora is carrying it...

Comment 5 Mostafa Afgani 2007-09-13 23:15:31 UTC
I can verify that the problem still persists in 2.6.22.5-76.fc7

Comment 6 Rob K 2007-09-27 11:22:57 UTC
It's now working again with kernel-2.6.22.7-85.fc7.
