[Bug 152527] Re: rtl8185 freezes on connect to network
Dan, No the kernel update does not include a driver which fixes the problem. Actually it doesn't even include a driver for this card. I did a fresh install of Hardy when it was released and it failed to install any kind of driver for the card. I suggest getting all the files install instructions you need on a CD before you install Hardy, otherwise you will not be able to access the web with this card. Download the current driver from the realtek website and use this patch to get it to work on the 2.6.24 kernel. http://www.willdaniels.co.uk/index.php/blog/tech-stuff -- rtl8185 freezes on connect to network https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/152527 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Yes the wireless signal strength and WEP works with the new linux drivers. I will try to permanently install the drivers again either tonight or tomorrow. -- rtl8185 freezes on connect to network https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/152527 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 152527] Re: rtl8185 freezes on connect to network
Ok so i have had it running for a while now and it seems to be a fix to all the freezing and hard locks. (Finally!) I have had azureus running for about 5 hours now with my upload and download speeds above 100kB/s. I have never been able to have my upload speed over 20kB/s otherwise ubuntu was guaranteed to freeze. I believe this new driver to be a fix. The only problem i am having is to install the driver permanently. I followed the guide @ http://rtl-wifi.sourceforge.net/wiki/Installing I started by Removing mainline ieee80211 Stack then installing the driver and finally permanently installing the driver. i did a sudo depmod -ae to have the driver start at boot. When i restarted the internet worked fine except i WAS NOT able to upload more than 20kB/s. I would continue to get hard locks when the new driver was permanently installed into the kernel. I am pretty sure i installed the driver right, unless someone else has other instructions for installing it permanently. When i simply insmod the new drivers into the kernel with the old drivers permenantly insalled then my problems are fixed. The only problem with this solution is that after every reboot i will have to insmod the new drivers back into the kernel. Like i said, i may not have permanently installed the drivers correctly and maybe the kernel was reverting back to the old driver and that is why i was getting the hard locks. I am not sure. But if someone could guide me through permanently installing the drivers that would be helpful. (ps. I leave for florida on tue evening, so i will not be around for a week.) The chanlog states there have been the following recent fixes: 2. fixed the problem of 100M upload 1. fixed the problem that cannot upload large file using ftp -- rtl8185 freezes on connect to network https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/152527 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 152527] Re: rtl8185 freezes on connect to network
I can confirm this problem also. I have a PCI wireless card with a RTL-8185 chip, and running 64bit Ubuntu Gutsy. It seems the freezes and lockups happen frequently when i am downloading or uploading large amounts of data from the internet or across my network. I must limit my upload speed to around 20k and around 200k download in any Torrent Client. This is extremely effecting productivity and stability of my system. Even with the speeds set i still have freezes and lockups. I have tried the ndiswrapper solution but it does not work for me. I still have major system stability issues. I believe the bug lies within the kernel. I am currently running kernel version 2.6.22-14-generic. If anyone has found a solution, please post. -- rtl8185 freezes on connect to network https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/152527 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
