[HELP] F4 Phantom Kernel Oddity

---

I had a strange problem. I just happened to open preware just to poke around today a few minutes ago and saw the phantom kernel and got excited and uninstalled my other kernel and rebooted to install this one. All went well for the first install. then as i was browsing preware it refreshed and i saw there was a kernel update, so i hit update. after it rebooted, i cant seem to enable or disable wifi. if i uninstall the kernel its fine, but if i reinstall it, the same problem comes back its really weird. any ideas?

I am having the exact same issue. I took the same path as well upgrading F4. Hopefully WI comes out with another update to fix this.

A reboot allows you to re-enabled wifi, but this is a poor work around.

F15C will do until the bug is fixed.

That is why you wait until it goes out of beta.

What's the fun in that? Anywho, sucks that the kernel doesn't dig your wifi. Been running it all day at 1.8 rather stably, with battery actually doing fairly well.

I think you're on the wrong forum there dude. It says developers in the url - beta is where we live.

I hadn't noticed the WiFi oddity but tried it and sure enough. The prior F15 kernels had WiFi problems for me so I stopped using them. Seems that unixpsycho doesn't think much of people using WiFi.

Did you guys try the 1.8+ GHz speeds? My pad crashed at that speed - had to learn how to reboot using the hard buttons lol.

I have had mine lose WiFi 2x already and was unable to turn it back on w/o reboot

there'a an update 3.0.2-46. Did that helped?

My touchpad is completely stable using F4 at 1.8

Browsermark for me has resulted in scores around 38k with conservative governor, 54k with ondemand, and 74k with performance.

Battery drain seems to be only slightly worse than on F15c despite having both cores running at all times.

I tried the F4 Phantom recently and while it seemed promising at first, the second CPU always showed as N/A after I would wake it from sleep. I've tried uninstalling, going back to default settings, and reinstalling F4 and had these same results. I'm running warthog now and I don't experience the 'N/A' anymore and running stable so far.

Anyone else get the 'N/A' using the latest F4 Kernel (3.0.2-46)? Btw, I've been using it at 1.7Ghz.

I gave F4 a try. Also got wifi problem after a few hrs. Going back to warthog.
