Package: powertop
Version: 1.11-1
Severity: normal

PowerTOP is a great tools, thanks for the development and maintaining it.

When I run PowerTOP on my eeepc 901 with the wifi on (whithout wifi there is no 
porblem) 
powertop will hang after one second and will not allow itself to be killed, the 
system seems
to be still working, but all sudo command calls will freeze. And when shuting 
down the system
will hang. I have to do SySRq RISEUB to reboot, normal shutdown does not work.

I investigated dmesg and this is what I found:
