Hi Eugen,
On 30 Oct, this message from Eugen Dedu echoed through cyberspace:
Hey, after searching again on groups I found this problem is known:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5017
Not sure that bug report is really your problem... The fact that going
back to an old kernel version doesn't help means something else changed
in between.
In fact, it is, see below.
For instance it could be that installing udev modified other things in
the system. Of course, the wireless LAN card could be plain broken.
After upgrading udev from 0.070-2 (testing) to 0.071-1 (unstable), the
2.6.12 kernel works again. 2.6.14 does not work.
Concerning your other remarks in the bug report (i.e. the Cisco Aironet
freezing the computer), I can confirm lots of problems with that card.
I currently run 2.6.8 self-compiled from the Debian sources. With that
kernel I have not had any freeze for the last 20 or so sleep cycles.
However, I need to ifdown, ifup the card after sleep: it seems the
settings are not all retained over sleep.
Indeed, see my posting
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=305557
I've not tried ejecting the card with this kernel version, but normally
that is a sure way to freeze.
Indeed...
