I have a T60 running with 2.6.34.1 using your config and so far no issues. Looking at your lspci output - your system has a slightly different HW, but I don't know if this is significant. Are you loading the kernel with any parameters (cat /proc/cmdline)? Do you have firewall configured (iptables -L)? Also now that 2.6.35 is out - could you give it a try and see if the situation had improved? > > Greetings > Marc Thanks, Emil ????{.n?+???????+%?????ݶ??w??{.n?+????{??G?????{ay?ʇڙ?,j??f???h?????????z_??(?階?ݢj"???m??????G????????????&???~???iO???z??v?^?m???? ????????I?
