Comment 69 for bug 300693

I installed linux-backports-modules-jaunty (generic) and turned off the wireless network in network manager (this turned off the wireless LED). But a few minutes later the machine hung anyway. I noticed that the wireless LED had turned itself back on! I don't know if that happened right at the moment of the freeze or some time before. This freeze was different than before in that the mouse cursor could still be moved and the CapsLock LED was not flashing. Otherwise the machine did not respond, but the SysRq key worked.

In conclusion: 1) The backports-modules package did *not* resolve the problem. 2) *Maybe* the wireless is indicated, since the LED came back on. 3) The problem was not present in Intrepid, but it is there in 2.6.28 and remains in 2.6.30-rc[2-4].
