Description of problem: When i try to connect to the wireless at my home the computer hangs and the caps lock and scroll lock lights keep flashing. I then have to force the computer to shutdown. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Not sure but it is the lastest update. After that it stopped working How reproducible: Always happens to me every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Turn on computer with intel wireless 4965 agn adapeter 2.Try to connect to wireless point 3.Hang. Keyboard and mouse lock up and caps and scroll lock lights flash. Actual results: Hang. Keyboard and mouse lock up and caps and scroll lock lights flash. Expected results: Connects to wireless access point with out any fuss. Additional info: I can get my netgear wireless adapter to connect no problems. Both nm-applet and system-config-network hang. System-config-network says "obtaining ip address". If you need more info email me -> "cameroncros"
it might actually be kernel related because if i boot the old kernel it works fine. Not sure why.
I have the same problem with Intel 4965 AG (or AGN) with the new kernel. I have to boot with the older kernel to avoid crashing.
This bug has been assigned to the wrong component. You seesm to say that a recent kernel update have made the kernel crash without telling which kernel (uname -r) it was... Please report this info along with others valuable info such as vendor/models of the laptop.
I'm having this problem too but with the x86_64 kernel. Kernel.x86_64-2.6.25-14.fc9 is happy either with during boot or after boot network activiation. Kernel.x86_64-2.6.25.6-55.fc9 hangs the machine with a flashing caps lock light on boot if activate on boot is selected. If activate on boot is not selected, activation of the network through System->Admin->Network will not connect to the network. Selection of Controlled by NetworkManager results in NetworkManager attempting to connect resulting in a hang. Booting back to the earlier kernel results in a functioning machine with network connection.
My influenced kernel is 2.6.25.6-55.fc9.i686 This is my network controller: 04:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network Connection (rev 61) Laptop vendor/model is Ninjutsu Siemens/Amilo

I am having the same problem on 2.6.25.6-55.fc9.x86_64 with an Intel 4965 AGN wifi card. I can get my computer to boot by eater using an older kernel version or by booting with wifi off, but if I turn it on it will freeze.
