I can confirm that I have the same issue and I can reproduce it on a Dell Latitude Laptop running Xubuntu 13.04. Mine occurs every time that I execute "airmon-ng start (interface)" on any wireless interface. So there definitely seems to be a correlation with the wireless drivers or interfaces. I get a kernel crash, but can partially recover by CTRL+ALT+F1 then switch back to X with ALT+F7.
I have also tried with an external USB wireless card and had the same result. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1159232 Title: Running iwconfig crashes (freezes) MacBookAir3,1 requiring hard reboot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mactel-support/+bug/1159232/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
