Yes, it does! Confirmed on both bcf3655... and 3.2.0-3 from sid. Why would a cpufreq module break a PCI wireless card like that? On Sat, Aug 11, 2012 at 9:43 PM, Ben Hutchings b...@decadent.org.uk wrote: On Sat, 2012-08-11 at 21:17 -0600, Jesse Rhodes wrote: sney@bivouac:~/data/debian/linux$

I should also note that if I load powernow_k8 *after* my wireless is already working, the bug does not return. It only seems to happen if powernow_k8 loads first. On Sun, Aug 12, 2012 at 9:03 AM, Jesse Rhodes dr...@drubo.net wrote: Yes, it does! Confirmed on both bcf3655... and 3.2.0-3 from

Ok: 3.2.0-3 (3.2.23-1) also produces the timeouts. So, just use the kernel from sid isn't even a workaround. I will continue bisecting. On Thu, Aug 9, 2012 at 10:41 AM, Ben Hutchings b...@decadent.org.uk wrote: On Thu, Aug 09, 2012 at 09:57:17AM -0600, Jesse Rhodes wrote: Bisecting away.

Bisecting away. Is 3.2.0-3 (3.2.23-1) from sid exempt from the freeze? I'm going to try that one as well. If it works, at least it'll likely work for the release, though we should probably keep hunting for the cause of this bug lest it surface again.

(i) 3.2.21-1 from snapshot produces the gain calibration timeouts. (ii) so does a rebuild of debian patched 3.2.21-3. Other kernels tried so far in order (we'll use worked for functional wifi, and broke for calibration timeouts): debian 3.2.0-2 (3.2.20-1) worked debian 3.2.0-3 (3.2.21-3) broke

Well, it's not going to happen when I'm using 3.2.0-2, and it always happens on 3.2.0-3 rendering it basically useless for a working system - not only is my network controller unusable, it also constantly spams the console with those gain calibration timeout messages. Since 3.2.0-3 reports itself
