Hi everyone,
first of all, i hope that this procedure is the correct one for
reporting issues with the kernel.

Because of 404 on
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/lkml/reporting-bugs.html please
forgive me when not everything is as you would suggest.

Me (and many other) ubuntu-users are facing issues with different
Version of Kernel 3.x. As it seems all users are using "rt2800pci" for
there wifi.

Model: "RaLink RT2860"
Vendor: pci 0x1814 "RaLink"
Device: pci 0x0781 "RT2860"
SubVendor: pci 0x1814 "RaLink"
SubDevice: pci 0x2790
Driver: "rt2800pci"
Driver Modules: "rt2800pci"

As it seems, the panics are happening more often, when on battery.

Also, this bug never happened on 2.6.38-x, Just with 3.x

My initial bug-report can be found here

Because i am also facing the kernel-panic with 3.1.0-0301rc9-generic
(which is not a specific ubuntu-kernel) i think its an upstream-bug

Here is a summary

3.0.0-11.18 = no panic after (3-4 days of testing)

3.0.0-12.19 = panic (3-5 days of testing)
