Have you ever wondered, what is happening when your media keys keep flashing?

This means your kernel has some sort of panic

This happend to me with some sort of strange combination of wlan-access-point and ubuntu-kernel. Whenever i got a new dhcp-lease from this one access-point, my kernel paniced and the last log message was that i got a new IP.

See google for more information on kernel panic reasons!

After the last kernel update, my wlan-led is blinking on traffic, what is quite annoying! And i’m not the only one, as you can see at this bug ticket:

And although studying computer science i don’t really want to edit and recompile the driver myself. So i was looking for an alternative, and guess what, there is already one, posted at this blog.
