Bug Description

occasionally ipw2200 loses network connection. ipw2200 module uses a lot of CPU. Removing and then reinserting the module resolves the issue. This didn't happen until the latest kernel update on Maverick.

Arne Goetje, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

The laptop which had this device broke a while ago, so I cannot test
anymore. I guess this issue has been fixed in a later kernel version
as I don't recall it happening with later versions of the 2.6.35 kernel.

Cheers
Arne
