** Summary changed: - wl driver causes random kernel panics + Broadcom STA/wl driver causes random kernel panics
** Description changed: The new wl driver(Broadcom STA) randomly causes my Dell Inspiron E1505 to experience kernel panics. I haven't been able to get a picture of the kernel panic though. The kernel panic happens randomly, sometimes even during bootup. The reason why I know its from the wl driver is because, I was using the b43 driver back on hardy. When the new broadcom driver was released, I manually compiled it and installed it. The driver kept randomly causing kernel panics on my system. When I blacklisted the driver and reverted back to b43, no more kernel panics. I wiped my disk down and installed intrepid and set my system to use the new wl driver again. The kernel panics started all over again. When I changed to the b43 driver, the kernel panics disappeared. The system can sometimes run for 4/5 days before experiencing a kernel panic and at other times, I can get about 5 kernel panics in a day. I - googled around and found a few people on the debian forums having the - same problems. + googled around and found a few people on both the ubuntu and debian + forums having the same problem with different systems and different + broadcom cards but same driver. -- Broadcom STA/wl driver causes random kernel panics https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292450 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
