I can confirm this bug. When I connect to my university's network (using WPA) most of the times my complete system freezes. If it doesn't freeze then sometimes weird behaviour of programs occur. For example the file names below the icons in the nautilus file manager get very strange and incorrect values. I don't get this faulty behaviour when connected to a network that does not use WPA.
I am experiencing these problems since the installation of Ubuntu 11.4 in April. Before that I never had these problems, but I don't know if Ubuntu used the same driver in the preceding versions. This bug really makes the system unusable and I can imagine it may cause damage to data or data loss. I really hope that you put some priority on this bug since its effects are quite serious. Also consider the fact that many people might not see the relation between their crashing system or the weird behaviour and this driver, and therefore they won't report this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/815148 Title: iwlagn wifi driver in wpa mode corrupts processes' memory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/815148/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
