** Description changed: The occurrence of this bug is seemingly random, but happens to me on average once a day (but twice while writing this). Effectively, all of my TCP connections do nothing, and any new programs I start which use sockets in any way hang until I resolve the problem. Solving the problem involves making NetworkManager stop the network connection (usually by telling it to reconnect). When I do this I get the following in dmesg: [15824.027472] ndiswrapper (set_scan:1212): scanning failed (C0000001) [15824.277080] ndiswrapper (set_essid:59): setting essid failed (C0000001) [15825.861715] ndiswrapper (set_essid:59): setting essid failed (C0000001) [15826.111890] ndiswrapper (set_essid:59): setting essid failed (C0000001) However all of the processes that hung before catch up when I do this. To regain use of my wireless I have to reload the ndiswrapper module (rmmod ndiswrapper ; modprobe ndiswrapper). At this point, everything is back to normal. I say that it's anything using sockets because most programs that are self-contained work fine when in this state, but things that fail to work tend to be using networking, or GNOME settings daemon (e.g. gnome- terminal, nautilus), or some other form of socket-based thing (I never knew sudo used sockets, but apparently it does!). It took me quite a while to consider the networking to be the problem, but everything started working again when I killed the network connection. I'm thinking maybe this is some kind of deadlock somewhere to do with socket handling, which only gets resolves when a load of TCP connections get dropped. Unfortunately I'm not intimately familiar with the Linux kernel so I'm not sure where to look.
