Re: [Mageia-dev] Need atheros wifi (ath9k) testers
2011/5/27 Anne nicolas enn...@mageia.org: 2011/5/27 You-Cheng Hsieh yochenhs...@gmail.com Hello, There is a bug which would cause complete freeze with atheros wifi connection. I currently don't have a working wifi AP to test this issue now. So if you have atheros ath9k wifi and Cauldron, please help test this problem: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=144 Bug 144 - Complete freeze with Atheros wifi Requirements: - Atheros wifi adapter which uses ath9k module. - Latest kernel How to reproduce/test: Connect to a wifi AP/hotspot and the system will be complete freeze. wi Please report to the bugzilla if this issue is still valid or invalid. Not much tests tobe done, still valid but waiting for more inputs from upstream Based on Wobo's report on bugzilla, it seems x86-64 system have not such problem. Perhaps we could mention that in the errata for a workaround? Users have x86-64 CPU and atheros wifi are recommended to install x86-64 edition instead of i586, to avoid complete system freeze when connecting to wifi. Thanks, You-Cheng Hsieh

It seems so far to be atheros 9285 (and some 9280), with some specific revisions. And have happend on both arches too.. -- Thomas
