wl driver causes random kernel panics |
Broadcom STA/wl driver causes random kernel panics |

description |
The new wl driver(Broadcom STA) randomly causes my Dell Inspiron E1505 to experience kernel panics. I haven't been able to get a picture of the kernel panic though. The kernel panic happens randomly, sometimes even during bootup.
The reason why I know its from the wl driver is because, I was using the b43 driver back on hardy. When the new broadcom driver was released, I manually compiled it and installed it. The driver kept randomly causing kernel panics on my system. When I blacklisted the driver and reverted back to b43, no more kernel panics. I wiped my disk down and installed intrepid and set my system to use the new wl driver again. The kernel panics started all over again. When I changed to the b43 driver, the kernel panics disappeared.
The system can sometimes run for 4/5 days before experiencing a kernel panic and at other times, I can get about 5 kernel panics in a day. I googled around and found a few people on the debian forums having the same problems. |

Intrepid SRU Justification
Impact: Broadcom wireless binary-blob driver crashes
Patch Description: Updated the binary blob to 5.10.27.11 from 5.10.27.6
Test case: This update is a side effect of testing performed on OEM platforms. I'm not sure of the exact failure scenarios.

My HP Pavilion dv4-1115ef still freezes while I'm connecting to the WPA network (EAP-TTLS, PAP) of my university on Intrepid with linux-restricted-modules 2.6.27-11.16, on Jaunty, and unfortunately even with the latest Broadcom drivers I compiled myself (v5.10.79.10). |

When I changed to the b43 driver, the kernel panics disappeared.
The system can sometimes run for 4/5 days before experiencing a kernel panic and at other times, I can get about 5 kernel panics in a day. I googled around and found a few people on both the ubuntu and debian forums having the same problem with different systems and different broadcom cards but same driver. |
SRU justification:
Impact: The current broadcom driver (wl.ko) seems to have several issues during operation. Reported have been random crashes between 5 a day to only 1 every 4 days.
Fix: The latest driver from broadcom had positive feedback on Jaunty and has been released there. This is the backport of that driver for intrepid.
The same code is intended to get ported to Hardy LRM. This would sync up the Hardy codebase with the Intrepid and Jaunty layout. So this would yield bug fixes and ease maintenance.
Changes are local to wl.ko only.
Testcase: Generic usage will sometimes cause panics.
