Description of problem: My machine frequently freezes. The most likely event is when I am connected to the Internet through my UMTS stick. I suspect that the problem is with the "hso" module, which is used to drive the stick. The freezes are only observed if the stick is/was in use. I am unable to contribute further info, because there is none available to me, as the machine freezes. I'd be happy to take any measures that allow me to provide more information. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [jwi@mcjwi ~]$ uname -a Linux mcjwi.eur.ad.sag 2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.i686.PAE #1 SMP Mon Mar 23 23:24:26 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux How reproducible: Not regularly. But there's a 30% or so change, that the machine freezes when I shutdown after using the stick. See below for additional details. [jwi@mcjwi ~]$ lsusb ... Bus 005 Device 005: ID 0af0:6971 Option ...

This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
