Bug Description
SYMPTOMS:
When using Wireless-LAN...
- Screen and mouse become frozen
- Caps_lock BLINKING
- Scroll_lock BLINKING
...only way out is to reboot by unplugging batteries and power adapter.
The problem appears after 1-20minutes using the wireless adapter in my notebook.
Example 1: Having a terminal running "sudo apt-get install kde4", running for about 1-2 minutes before system freeze and LED starts blinking.
Example 2: Only having FireFox 3 Beta 4 running with 5 tabs, and when adding the next tab the system will freeze and LED starts blinking.
Observation: As long as I do not load the wireless LAN I can work for hours, but as soon as I run into “heavy web pages” the system will normally crash!
Observation: My Notebook is OK as long as I use the built in cable-LAN adapter.
