Public bug reported:
Under Ubuntu 8.10, when I right-click on nm-applet in the notification
area and uncheck "Enable Wireless", my mouse and keyboard often stop
working until the "Disconnected" notification pop-up appears.
Enabling "Show seconds" on the GNOME clock confirms that the entire X
(or GNOME?) session is hung, since the seconds on the clock stop
updating for a couple of seconds... and then catch-up when the hang is
complete.
What's more, if I'm using ogg123 to play some music then the music stops
too. This suggests that something a little more insidious is going on.
dmesg shows nothing obvious, so it isn't clear whether the culprit is
nm-applet or the iwlagn driver.
Here's the version information:
