Ivo and Gertjan,
The kernel in openSUSE 11.2 was recently upgraded from 2.6.31.5 to 2.6.31.8.
Immediately, users of rt2860/2870 cards began reporting system freezes as soon
as the device makes a wireless connection. For NM users, this is soon after
login. The only recovery is power off. There is at least one bug report at
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=568446
Do you know any reason for a regression of this nature in the 2.6.31 stable
code? I don't recall any similar complaints on the wireless list, but I don't
always follow the rt2x00 stuff.
Thanks,
Larry

rt2860/2870 are the legacy drivers in stagging; the rt2x00 maintainers
aren't the right people to complain to ;)
