Comment 22 for bug 300693

I think that this is a version issue with iwglan

here is my mobile wireless chip config

03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Wireless WiFi Link 5100 [8086:4232]
 Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device [8086:1201]
 Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx-
 Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx-
 Latency: 0, Cache Line Size: 32 bytes
 Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 2296
 Region 0: Memory at fdffe000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
 Capabilities: <access denied>
 Kernel driver in use: iwlagn
 Kernel modules: iwlagn
However, in my instance the panic is caused by some sort of interference with the nvidia driver 177. once I disabled it it stopped. When I orignally installed 8.10 I was able to boot into the preview system but couldn't install direct from the CD without causing a kernel panic which started at iwlagn tcp check. if I can make it do the same thing again I'll try and snap a photo. I'm guessing since this bug appears so many times in so many variants they are all related.
