Could the bug please also be assigned to the linux kernel package (and its status be set to Confirmed). iwl4965 hardware is pretty common, people are going to start looking for this bug, we should at least make sure they have a fighting chance of finding the bug report.
The RC release notes are still understating the problem: It in fact also occurs when connected to an 802.11g access point (though it might well be that it only occurs when other 802.11n capable clients are within range), so the release notes might give people a false sense of security if they're only using 802.11b/g networks. Finally, since this is a serious issue that has the potential to drive users (who'll just experience random freezes with no clue what hit them) away from Ubuntu, could the decision to not make the fix available by default please be reconsidered? How about splitting the ubuntu- backports-modules package into intel and non-intel drivers and have the regular kernel (modules) package depend on the intel (or just iwlagn) part? -- iwlagn causes kernel panic on 802.11n wifi https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/276990 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
