Title:
ath9k drivers freeze the system when changing state
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: linux-image-generic
The ath9k driver freezes the laptop when the adapter changes state.
Reproduceable by enabling/disabling wireless adapter using the network
manager applet, or by suspending the system. The issue exists at least
in 10.10 as well, but never had issues running 10.04. Since applicable
in several kernel versions, reported this against linux-image-generic.
It's 32 bit stock kernel, latest updates, Natty 11.04 i386.
On 10.10 the system got freezes randomly just while browsing, which
was even worse. Used compat-wireless which made it much better but not
perfect (only freezes on state changes as mentioned above).
I am 100% sure it is triggered by the wireless driver: issuing "rmmod
ath9k ath9k_common ath9k_hw ath" prior to suspending the laptop,
followed by "modprobe ath9k" after resume, makes the freeze disappear.
I actually added a script in /etc/pm.d/sleep.d issuing these commands
and now laptop works normal.
