This has been rather annoying on my laptop, but I am getting constant kernel oopses with my WiFi and broadband adapters. This is on a ThinkPad T400. It usually happens when I connect or disconnect USB devices, which includes my broadband adapter. A trace from an example happening with my WiFi adapter is below.
Anyone else having these issues, or is it just me and something I may or may not have done?
Cheers,
Chris

What you posted is a WARNING and not an oops. Are you getting the later as well? Did you check bugzilla?

It's reporting as a kernel oops, and I had absolutely no idea what to search BZ for on this one.
However, I did search on the string you gave just now and found BZ number 490454. It applies to 32-bit F10 though and I'm running 64-bit F11 Preview. Other than that, the issue is the same..
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=490454
I added that it is happening to me on F11. I don't think this should be a low priority bug either.

Chris,
I'm seeing similar oopses and WiFi problems with my ThinkPad W700. The oopses seem benign, but the WiFi dropouts are very annoying. They seem related to overall system "pauses" where everything stops until I click or move the mouse, or generate some other interrupt. Everything was fine with Fedora 10. These pausing and dropout problems made Fedora 11 almost unusable. I'm installing F12-Alpha now hoping upstream patches to the kernel have fixed things. There seems to be some improvement to the WiFi, but the pauses are still there. Haven't seen a kernel oops yet.
