[Lucid Beta2] iwlwifi drivers involved in kernel oopses over the last few weeks

[Jeff Lane ]

I have been having issues with my wireless card seemingly at random turning itself on and off even though I have the copper enet card in use...

I got to looking at /var/log/messages and noticed a lot of OOPses. There were a LOT of them on 18 March, though that's been a while now. There was one this afternoon too, however, and here it is:

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Jeff Lane, thank you for reporting this bug and helping make Ubuntu better. 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 <replace-with-bug-number>

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.
