Same bug here using a fully updated intrepid install as of Sept 18:
This is on a Latitude E6400.
Linux version 2.6.27-3-generic
I have the same bug log (as part of dmesg).

[Pablo Castellano (pablocastellano)]

I think my case is similar.
It happens when I do modprobe -r ssb; modprobe -r wl; modprobe wl; (Note that I did it several times in the attached log).
But my dmesg output is shorter.

Also fully updated intrepid 18 sept.

[Pablo Castellano (pablocastellano)]

I have blacklisted ssb from initrd and my dmesg is now similar to theirs.
Network is working anyway.

Tim, have you checked it before marking as duplicate?
Last week I installed xubuntu and It hadn't been solved yet so I don't think it's a duplicate.

[Robert Spanjaard (spamtrap-arumes)]

Marking a bug as duplicate doesn't (have to) mean it's fixed. As you can see in the other bug's comments (from me, for example), the bug is still open. "Fix Committed" is not the same as "Solved".

[Pablo Castellano (pablocastellano)]

I'm sorry if I'm wrong.
I wanted to say that both bugs don't seem to be the same: error messages are different.

@Pablo - it really is a duplicate. The root issue is that a fix was added in Hardy 2.6.24 to set the VLAN mode default to 0 so that normal ssh/ssl traffic worked. The fix was forward ported to Intrepid 2.6.27 where it stopped working as of 2.6.27-rc5. I updated the fix slightly, and now it works again.

[Pablo Castellano (pablocastellano)]

My apologizes... good work! =)
