I don't think it is being caused by NetworkManager. I tried installing Wicd and uninstalling NetworkManager and I got the kernel panic too. It looks more like a problem of the network card 3945abg, than something related to NetworkManager.
I also tried using Fedora 10 and got the same kernel panic (this time I was using NetworkManager). I had to stop using Linux for this reason (wireless causes kernel panic in both Ubuntu 8.10 and Fedora 10), has anyone made any progress? -- NetworkManager causes system freeze, lock up, kernel panic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/336001 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
