Bug#512696: firmware-iwlwifi: Kernel panic when using iwl4965 and iwlwifi-4965-ucode-228.57.2.21
Package: firmware-iwlwifi
Version: 0.14
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
Hello!
I have a Fujitsu-Siemens AMILO Xi 2550 notebook with Intel 4965 Wi-Fi.
You can see the details of the hardware at my homepage:
http://phd.pp.ru/notebooks/FujitsuSiemens_AMILO_Xi2550.html.
$ lspci | grep -F 4965
04:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN
[Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61)
I was using firmware-iwlwifi 0.14, iwlwifi-4965-ucode-228.57.2.21, and
the notebook regularly hanged - the system stuck and was flashing
Capslock+Scrollock indicating a kernel panic. I found a similar bug report
at http://intellinuxwireless.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1744 and did what
it advised - downgraded to iwlwifi-4965-ucode-4.44.1.20 downloaded from
http://intellinuxwireless.org/?n=downloads&f=ucodes_4965. After the
downgrade I haven't experienced any hangs.
