[Bug 39338] [dapper] Tons of kernel error messages bring laptop to crawl: hermes @ f09fa000: Error -16 issuing command 0x010b.

[Michael R. Head]

Public bug reported:

Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
Recently I've starting having this trouble with my wireless card with
some wireless networks. At some point while being connected, syslog
starts filling up with tons of messages about errors issuing commands.
It doesn't seem to happen when I'm plugged in to the network with a
cable.

When this happens, my laptop starts to crawl and eventually stops
responding to about everything except mouse movements (the cursor will
jump positions every couple minutes). I can't even get mouse clicks to
appear to do anything. Keyboard actions don't seem to work either
(neither alt-tab nor ctrl-alt-F1).

My laptop has a minipci orinoco_pci wireless card (and an e100 wired
card). I use NetworkManager to handle all my network connections.

Here are a few entries from syslog that were left there from the last
time this happened.
