[Karmic] general protection fault: 0000 [#2] SMP

[Andrew Cowie]

No idea what led to this one, but I had inserted my 3G mobile broadband USB device, not recognized (tailing /var/log/messages). After a bit, I gave up, and removed it. And around then (but not necessarily correlated) got this crash report.

Subsequently (like 10 seconds later) inserted USB device in a different port and ta-da, recognized & network came up [allowing me to file this!]

Hi Andrew,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 437985

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
