Comment 195 for bug 204996

I've run some more tests.

First I've given 2.4.24-16-generic another shot. It crashed after about 40min, with no network load. Temperatures are normal (below 50 Celsius), no usb devices connected. After reboot (I was trying to install the kernel from hardy-proposed) it froze right after I've logged into xfce4.

Second try, with 2.4.24-17-generic from hardy-proposed. I've not compiled madwifi, so I've done the test without any kind of network connectivity. I've started a gnome-terminal with powertop (wakeups are at about 100/sec).
I wanted to stress it a little, so I started a movies (with mplayer). It crashed after about 5min.

Third, with 2.4.25-1-generic, from kernel-ppa, without wifi. I've got bored running the movie, I've launched a browser, terminal, etc. I'll test further (including madwifi), but so far no crash occurred.

Bug does not seem related to network load, or madwifi.

I'm attaching a tar.gz with dmesg, version & lspci from all 3 kernels.
