I experienced this problem under high network load on an Ubuntu 9.04 on a Acer Aspire One. I found a solution in my case which may help. This problem did not occur with the default ath5k wireless driver, but I had tried to use the madwifi driver ath_pci, which didn't work, and then the ndiswrapper driver, which did. The problem only occurred when both the ath_pci and ndiswrapper drivers were loaded (ndiswrapper being used); I conclude that this is a driver conflict issue. blacklisting the ath_pci driver solved this problem for me.
I posted specific details on a Ubuntu forum; http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7693525#post7693525. I hope this helps and is related to the above bug. -- UNR Freeze & Flashing Caps Lock Indicator when D/Ling Files/Binaries on Acer Aspire One AOA150 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/381336 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
