Comment 341 for bug 204996

I experienced my first two random(!) kernel panics (blinking caps and scroll lock) today after having used my computer for 2 or 3 weeks without any problems. It is a Sony Vaio Subnotebook VGN-TX3XP running Ubuntu 8.04.2 Kernel 2.6.24-23-generic. I suspect it to be a network related bug, scince it did not occur a third time when I had deactivated my wireless network (driver iwl3945 - also see thread 944123 "The Broadcom STA wl driver is buggy"). I would like to mention that my neigbour has exactly the same router as me, which caused some problems with the roaming-mode under the Gnome network-manager during the last days, so the bug might have something to do with WLAN overlapping, too. I replaced it with Wicd, activated the WLAN again and have had no further kernel-panics so far. I'll post if they come back.
