Description Bryan Christ 2008-06-27 00:51:51 UTC 
Description of problem:

When NetworkManager tries to obtain an IP address (two green lights) the HP
Compaq 8510w notebook with Centrino wireless hard-locks.  When the system
freezes, the caps-lock indicator lights up.  The system must be power-cycled.

The problem goes away when the integrated wireless is disabled in the system BIOS.

kernel-2.6.25.6-55.fc9.x86_64
NetworkManager-gnome-0.7.0-0.9.4.svn3675.fc9.x86_64
NetworkManager-glib-0.7.0-0.9.4.svn3675.fc9.x86_64
NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.9.4.svn3675.fc9.x86_64

How reproducible: 100%
