Description of problem: When sitting idle for about thirty minutes or when istalling packages with yum (either cli or yum-extender) a kernel panic occurs. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):3.5.4-1.fc17.x86_64 How reproducible: This can be reproduced everytine when using yum. Otherwise it is 50/50. Steps to Reproduce: 1.start yum-extender (or sudo yum) 2.select a package (such as gedit) 3.select apply and as the packages are downloading the kernel panics. Additional info: I suspect this may be something to do with the broadcom wifi drivers. I have an wmp300n (BCM4321 chipset) wifi pci card installed. I then installed the kmod-wl package which installed broadcom-wl and a kernel package. here is a pic of the panic. http://i879.photobucket.com/albums/ab357/bluejoanh/0204c6bbe82e6594b937a6a89e235f64.jpg
That's a bug in the wl driver according to the traceback. We can't fix that. You might try with the brcm80211 drivers instead.
