I may confirm this, I got unexpected "wow" events (it was already reported), playing with enabling/disabling wifi in FSO after a bit put the wifi chip in an unusable state with a strange framework log error (similiar to expecting power set to 0 but failed), when this happens the command "iwconfig eth0 power off" crashes and the kernel oops. Other problems with wpa roaming mode that seems to not work, wpa_action is missing, wpa_cli does not reports all connect/disconnect errors and so on. I ignored all these issues as before I used mainly BT networking and USB, they works well with recent kernels, with olders BT stopped to work after suspend/resume and with USB my laptop was often not able to enumerate. The network nightmare :) Nicola _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
