DetailsHi there... For my first bug report, I hope I selected the good options for submission.
On my laptop (Acer Aspire 5683WLMi) I have got a very annoying crash under X which appears very oftenly. About 10 minutes after I booted, all the applications freeze (Audacious, Firefox, etc...) and the ipw3945 signal falls down to 0. The crash appears every 10 minutes but seems to disappear as the computer remains powered on. I think it's ipw3945 since the signal goes down to 0 when the bug appears, but not sure at all. Look at this dmesg... Thanks in advance !

This task depends upon
In fact, I tried to upgrade ipw3945 to 1.2.1 (home-made package) as I saw some lockup problems were fixed in this version. But it didn't change anything.
I use the 2.6.21-ARCH kernel. And the problem was already there with 0.8 Voodoo.
(Please help, I'm really getting mad with this ****ing ipw3945 and I really need wireless connection for now)
To explain the crash:
Audacious stops playing. Firefox stops loading pages. Wireless signal is at 0: For 1 or 2 minutes, then the computer continues running normally. And 2-3 minutes after, it crashes...and so on.
Is this an ACPI problem ?
If you want further information on my system, I'll give you...
The word is rather "hangs" than "crashes". It hangs during 2 minutes exactly.
I know there is iwlwifi which is nearly ready for 2.6.22.. but do I have to run a completely crashed laptop before new kernel is out ?
Is it ipw3945 which makes trouble ?
I'll wait the 2.6.22-ARCH and try again...
Anyway, at the moment, I'm running a customized kernel (2.6.22-rc2) and it works perfectly ! I set the Timer Frequency @ 250

thanks
For a moment I was running customized 2.6.22-rc5, and there were no problems.
Then I gave another try to 2.6.21-ARCH (I thought the crash has been fixed in recent versions)
But crashes came again... Then I tried your kernel, and exactly same crashes...
Unfortunately I lost my customized .config and I gave up the customized kernel.. I hope you'll fix this one day !
I tried again a customized 2.6.22-rc6 and all seems to be OK.
When I say "you", I meant "arch developers" ! :p
dont you think ;)
