Package: wireless-tools Version: 30~pre9-5 Severity: important
Tags: l10n The bug may or may not depend on localization, but I noticed a line in my /var/log/dmesg file that says: "ath: country alpha2 being used: CN", while the system is set up for French and that I never use any other language than French or English. My device depends upon ath9k, and a google search showed that many other users have same freezing problems with this TP-LINK wireless PCI adapter. http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k/bugs#Hangs_with_PCI_devices_and_SMP_systems is a link where I have seen such reports. On that desktop computer, I am on Debian Squeeze, originally with kernel 2.6.32, but I soon installed 3.2.0 from Debian repository, with no success as far as said bug is concerned, and then I compiled and installed kernel 3.2.11, with same result. On the Ubuntu forum, I read that users have the same problem with this ath9k driver on TP-LINK TL WN751ND, up to Ubuntu 11.04, but that it has been satisfactorily corrected in Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric). My wireless connection does happen all right and it seems to work well... but it lasts only about 10 to 90 seconds, which is enough for a quick test... then the whole system freezes and I have no other alternative than disconnecting mains power. My /var/log/daemon.log file does not show anything wrong, nor does the 'messages' file. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 architecture i686) original Kernel: Linux 2.6.32, (tests also carried with 3.2.0 and 3.2.11) at present: Linux debian 3.2.11 #1 SMP shared C libraries: libc-2.11.3.so Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
