The wifi adapter causes system freeze with CAPS LOCK blinking

[Lilian ROBERT]

Hi,

I installed Ubuntu 8.10 on my lenovo Thinkpad T61. Everything seemed to work fine but after a few days, the system begins to crash randomly when I use the wifi adapter ( Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection).

Complete freeze, nothing responds, sysrq does not work. The only "activity" is the CAPS LOCK led blinking.

This is a very annoying problem.

Regards

I'm moving this report since it looks like a kernel panic.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it without more information.

Please include the following additional information, if you have not already done so (pay attention to lspci's additional options), as required by the Ubuntu Kernel Team:
1. Please include the output of the command "uname -a" in your next response. It should be one, long line of text which includes the exact kernel version you're running, as well as the CPU architecture.
2. Please run the command "dmesg > dmesg.log" after a fresh boot and attach the resulting file "dmesg.log" to this bug report.
3. Please run the command "sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log" and attach the resulting file "lspci-vvnn.log" to this bug report.

For your reference, the full description of procedures for kernel-related bug reports is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies Thanks in advance!
