From: Nishita Desai on 26 Jun 2010 02:40 Dear All, I am using Debian 5.0 amd64 version (2.6.26-1-amd64). I would appreciate any help on the following problem: The wifi starts up fine but after a few minutes, the computer simply hangs and all LED indicators are on. Package versions: iwlwifi (0.14+lenny), wpasupplicant (0.6.4-3) I did find an old bug (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=488723) but nothing else. Has anyone else had this problem? The strange thing is I was using wireless for almost a year on the same system without any trouble. I am attaching parts of dmesg output which I think might be relevant: [ 9.332536] iwl4965: Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN driver for Linux, 1.2.26ks [ 9.332536] iwl4965: Copyright(c) 2003-2008 Intel Corporation [ 9.336725] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:00.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 [ 9.336737] PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:01:00.0 to 64 [ 9.336766] iwl4965: Detected Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN [ 9.383441] iwl4965: Tunable channels: 11 802.11bg, 13 802.11a channels [ 9.392899] phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'iwl-4965-rs' [ 9.497639] ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:01:00.0 disabled [ 9.497719] input: 4965AGN as /class/input/input8 -- [ 72.213363] wlan0: Initial auth_alg=0 [ 72.213374] wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:1f:f3:bf:a6:66 [ 72.219952] wlan0: RX authentication from 00:1f:f3:bf:a6:66 (alg=0 transaction=2 status=0) [ 72.219952] wlan0: authenticated [ 72.219952] wlan0: associate with AP 00:1f:f3:bf:a6:66 [ 72.223412] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:1f:f3:bf:a6:66 (capab=0x421 status=0 aid=1) [ 72.223412] wlan0: associated [ 72.223412] wlan0: switched to short barker preamble (BSSID=00:1f:f3:bf:a6:66) [ 72.223412] wlan0 (WE) : Wireless Event too big (320) [ 72.233800] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready [ 82.293750] wlan0: no IPv6 routers present Thanks, Nishita -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

What do you use to manage wifi? NetworkManager? Yes, I am using NetworkManager. But connection is no problem. The problem is that everything hangs after a few minutes. Before that I can connect fine. The same problem persists if I put the ESSID etc. directly into dhclient.conf. I don't think it's a connection problem.

Best guess from your descriptions and dmesg output: disable ACPI from the boot edit console on grub 2. If you don't use grub 2 I'm not sure how you would disable ACPI on boot. -- CK -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
