Hi everyone,

My first post, but I've noticed the 5-16 and 5-19 releases crash my Linux server during wireless activity. Some data gets transferred, but then the server locks up solid (no response to caps lock) after a couple of mins.

Machine:
  Celeron 633
  Intel D815EEA2 mb
  D-Link DWL-520 PCI card
  RedHat 7.1

Standard releases except that I have to make some small patches to hostap_pci.c for 7.1 support

• comment out save_state and enable_wake members from struct pci_driver initializer
• comment out pci_disable_device calls

May 19 21:18:25 lambenstein kernel: wlan0: Intersil Prism2.5 PCI: mem=0xf6aff000, irq=11

No log file entries when the machine locks up. The older 05-02 release doesn't do this!

Does anyone else have these symptoms?

Thanks
