Elijah,<br>Thanks for this information. It would be great if you can start a bug with all this info and then we can follow the suggested steps and results.<br><br>Ricardo - can you add suggested tests for Elijah since this is an area you have spent a lot of your time recently :-)

<br>today i updated my b4 to the latest firmware, then installed ship-2 via<br>usb, then olpc-updated to the latest joyride build that i could find.<br><br>[the impetus for the updates, today, beyond the RTC bug, was that the
<br>wireless on the B4 didn't seem to want to come on. Empty neighborhood<br>screen, etc. There were some libertas error messages in the dmesg output,<br>which were initially somewhat concerning. Now, I wish that I'd written
<br>them down. Oops.]<br><br>a minute ago my ubuntu laptop (an aging dell inspiron 8200, with 802.11b<br>truemobile mini-pci card, running 2.6.22...) started spewing error<br>messages and the card began frequently resetting itself. LOTS of spewage.
<br><br>turning the b4 off seems to have eliminated the issue. huh. :-)<br><br><br>possible complicating factors:<br><br>My local network has a BUNCH of 802.11g devices on it. A d-link pci card,<br>several different belkin and linksys usb dongles, etc. All talking to the
<br>one AP. And there are several, several, several APs RF-visible from here<br>- typically 20-30, depending on which window of the house you happen to be<br>closest to.<br><br>There's also a B2-1 here, running 406.15
, with very non-current-ish<br>firmware on it.<br><br>the AP to which the laptop and the B4 were both connected is a Netgear<br>WGR614v6, running firmware V2.0.13_1.0.13NA. The B2-1 was disconnected<br>and at a point where it would have liked for me to type in a WEP key.
<br><br>The AP is WEP, as there are several devices that don't do WPA and still<br>need to work.<br><br>This sounds a little bit like the reported WDS/frame/mesh scenarios that<br>I've seen mentioned on a couple of occasions recently... but not exactly.
<br><br>I am happy to do further testing - and endure further possible crashes of<br>my non-XO laptop - to help get this stable again. :-)<br><br>--elijah<br>_______________________________________________<br>Devel mailing list
