Bug Description

Hi Folks,

This is my first bug report, so please forgive any glaring omissions!
Feel free to send me an email at <email address hidden> if you need any add'l info, I check it regularly.

Anyway I'm not sure which package this is specifically, but after the latest round of updates, if my laptop is running on battery power, and wireless is active, the computer will competely lock up after a few minutes, regardless of what program I'm running. The mouse doesn't move, it's completely unresponsive.

I have an HP Compaq nx9420

I believe this is related to a recently released update because this just started happening last night.

I've attached system log entries leading up to the crash

The same on an HP ze4145. Powering up on battery power or disconnecting from exterior power after booting up causes input from the mouse/touchpad and keyboard to not be registered, but leaves the system running as usual (reconnecting to exterior power changes the power status, removing the wireless card changes the network status, ect...).
