[Bug 518666] Re: kernel 2.6.31-19 causing lockups on Acer Aspire One AO532H

[J Cameron Cooper]

Noticing same problems now with 2.6.31-19-generic #56-Ubuntu SMP.

Symptoms:

Wireless reception is vastly under-reported compared to other devices
(and this machine under Windows, and also with the one state reported
above where it seemed to work right.) Right next to an AP, it'll say
75%.

Wireless will work for a while (maybe a few hours) and then quit; wired
will work longer, but eventually will fail as well. Reboot seems the
only recourse. When wireless quits, I can plug in and it'll work for a
while.

Weak wireless seems to aggravate the problem; connecting to a distant AP
will almost immediately kill networking and also lock up terminals and
usually Firefox (but not Chrome.) Won't be able to switch to virtual
terminals. In this case the system is almost unusable.

The usual case (with strong wireless) doesn't seem to lock the
terminals, but I can't say that categorically. It does tend to lock up
Firefox. Also, after such failures, reboot doesn't work; it'll kill the
WM, and sometimes X, but never does reboot.

Will attach requested debug info. I believe I'm up to date. Haven't
tested upstream; I'll try to get to it.
