From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98; Win 9x 4.90; MSN 6.0) Amazinly fisher detected and automagically configured the linksys wireless eternet device on the Dell latitude CSX and found the baystation and the network id. No user intervention was needed! This is superior windows 98, ME, and 2000, that all required manual configuration. Wowever, there is a minor problem... The wole system frezes, except the mouse cursor, after some operation. CTRL BKSPACE, CTRL ALT F1, F2, etc. do not work. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install RH Fisher on a DELL Latitude CSX, accept the default "Laptop" configuration. Allow DHCP. 2. Work with this machine for a while... 3. Actual Results: ystem freze in KDE Expected Results: NO freze Also, DNS does not seem to work well... Are there problems with the PCMCIA? This may or may not be related... You appear to have to be logged on and active for the problem to occur... If there is something you would like me to try to help you analyze the issue please let me know. This does not happen when not using X, but neither does it happen when using X and no networking.
When the system appears to freeze, is it still accessible from the network? I suspect that something's killing the X server, and in turn, the console. If you can log in remotely after this happens, then that's what's really going on....
