Package: linux-image-2.6.32-3-amd64 Version: 2.6.32-9 Severity: important Tags: squeeze
The intel 5100 wireless on my thinkpad SL500 no longer works properly. It works perfectly with 2.6.31, and it worked with at least 2.6.32-rc3 as well. Now however, it will connect, work for a few seconds (it seems to depend on the quantity of data passed through). After a few seconds of heavy traffic (like reloading a page in iceweasel), the wireless link simply stops passing any traffic. This if course makes the 2.6.32 kernel rather useless on this laptop. I have no idea if other laptops with the same wireless chipset are affected, or if it is specific to this one (given the lack of bug reports, I am inclined to believe it might be specific to this machine type). Any suggestion on how to track down what broke it so I can move on to a current kernel on my laptop? If I force a reconnect on the wireless, then I get another few seconds of working traffic before it dies again. I am using 5GHz 802.11n by the way, just in case the reason no one else is seeing the bug is that everyone else runs 2.4GHz. I suppose I should test that by connecting to 2.4GHz instead to test that theory. It works with 2.6.31 though, so clearly this can be fixed again. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (amd64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU core) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
