Package: linux-source-2.6
Version: 2.6.18
Severity: critical
Justification: freezes the system


I already posted it in the relevant bug report (#392065), but since nobody seems
to care, let's do a brand new bug report, just for fun:

/* Debian changelog */

bcm43xx: Add full netdev watchout timeout patch. (closes: 392065)
   * Add stable release 2.6.18.2:
     - Remove not yet released, revert the included patches.
     - Keep aboves bcm43xx fix, it's more complete.

/* /Debian changelog */

It would be nice not to mess with the bcm43xx driver, especially when you don't
know what you are doing. Debian  last version (2.6.18-7) is completely broken:

/* LOG */
Nov 11 13:03:41 neobox kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth1: transmit timed out
Nov 11 13:03:41 neobox kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:02:02.0
disabled
Nov 11 13:03:41 neobox kernel: PCI: Enabling device 0000:02:02.0 (0000 -> 0002)
Nov 11 13:03:41 neobox kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:02.0[A] -> GSI 18
(level, low) -> IRQ 19
Nov 11 13:03:41 neobox kernel: bcm43xx: Controller restarted
Nov 11 13:17:27 neobox syslogd 1.4.1#18: restart.
/* END LOG */

Please keep track of the official branch, which works well since 2.6.18.2, and
stop backporting patches when you don't know what they're doing.

I re-submitted it against linux-source-2.6.18.
Closing.
