Bug#635653: [linux-2.6] Please pick: iwlagn: check for !priv->txq in iwlagn_wait_tx_queue_empty
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 3.0.0-1-amd64
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
There is a mean bug in the 3.0 version of the iwlagn driver causing a
kernel panic when going into suspend with a wireless card that is down.
However, there is a fix for that already that is small clean and works
like a charm. It would be nice if you could cherry pick it for the next
update, thanks.
For the origin of the patch and further info see [1].
Kind regards,
Florian.
