------- Comment #75 from [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2007-10-17 09:41 -------
Sorry guys but this is what I just found, which tends to indicate it has
nothing to do with wifi nor bluetooth being on or off specifically (but my
earlier observations hold: turning off the bluetooth via the BIOS made my
laptop very stable, and turning them on makes it very unstable, but....):

I was trying to copy 7 Gigs over the LAN card. The wifi/bluetooth switch was
*OFF*.

Eventually the NIC stopped functioning. ifup/ifdown would not restore it.

Here's what I found in the system log:

Oct 17 09:01:07 ThinkpadT61 kernel: Disabling IRQ #177

I have noticed this before: copying large (Gigs) of data over the T61 NIC kills
it. In fact, I pretty much convinced I can't copy more than approx 1 gig
without failure (this is over sftp using nautilus if that's of any relevance).
Please do note, the NIC had died, not nautilus, and ifup/ifdown did not restore
it.

Thinkpad T61, Debian Linux, kernel 2.6.18-5-686.

I'm not the most technical tool in the shed but if there is anything I can do
to help, let me know. 

Maybe running bluetooth/wifi or also heavy NIC traffic is putting some kind of
load on the system ... in other words, it is not those devices specifically
that cause the problem, just what those devices demanding of the hw/sw? Remove
(or reduce) the demand and the problem becomes less frequent. (I'm such a
newb...)
