Description Edouard Bourguignon 2008-08-21 14:51:16 UTC

Description of problem:
Installing the iwlwifi-5000 firmware seems to crash the kernel when NetworkManager start.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.27-0.244.rc2.git1.fc10.x86_64

How reproducible:
Kernel oops seem statics, the effects vary, sometimes the computer hangs, sometimes Network-Manager is just killed and the boot process go on. No wireless connection of course, haven't try without NM.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. cp iwlwifi-5000-1.ucode /lib/firmware
2. reboot
3. crash when NM starts
  
Actual results:

Expected results:
Firmware should be loaded and NetworkManager should work.

Best regards.

Comment 1 Edouard Bourguignon 2008-08-29 12:21:02 UTC

Hello, any news?
I've just test Ubuntu IntrepidIbex with their new 2.6.27 kernel and it works. I hope it will work soon on Fedora.

Comment 2 John W. Linville 2008-08-29 15:04:13 UTC

Just discussing this w/ the Intel guys yesterday.  There is a simple fix, but they allude to some other patch that is more elaborate.  I'll probably merge the simple one as a fix "soon" if I don't get something better from them.

Comment 3 Edouard Bourguignon 2008-08-30 15:40:11 UTC

Thank you John for the information. I assume the ubuntu kernel team has merged the simple fix to their kernel (don't know how to check that), and after a couple of days using it, I can say it seems to be pretty stable. But I understand you prefer to wait for a more elaborated patch. Anyway, i'll be there to test the fix as soon as there is a rpm (if it could be of any help).

Comment 4 John W. Linville 2008-09-02 19:08:43 UTC

I'm merging a simple fix upstream.  Hopefully it will make it to rawhide this week...thanks!
