On my ibook, I had also kernel panic.
There is a bug in d80211+ipv6.
- Try to remove /lib/modules/2.6.16*/kernel/net/ipv6/ipv6.ko and
depmod and reboot.
- If this solve your problem and you want ipv6 module, here is a patch
from Jiri Benc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
----------------------------------
The bug was indeed triggered by ipv6.
Actually, I already knew about that bug (it's on my todo list) but I
wasn't aware of anything that triggers it, so I didn't care.
The fix is not so easy. See below a quick temporary (incorrect but
working) patch.
