[Bug 109836] Re: Linksys USB NIC prevents boot-up or locks system after plugging in after boot on Fiesty Fawn
I have good news! !! As suggested by Brian, I tried the Gutsy Gibbon live. After activating all the repositories, I installed by Synaptic the drivers for Atmel wifi devices provided by the Gutsy distribution. I didn't yet test all thoroughly, but there was no more keyboard freezing, and iwconfig was reporting correctly the ESSID of the wlan without need for any manual configuration. So it seems that the bug is solved in Gutsy. I noted also that the driver is reported as working for kernels => 2.6.20. If this is true, the driver supplied with Gutsy should work also for Feisty. I am not so clever to transport the package into Feisty, but if somebody tells me how to, I am willing to try and maybe we can close this bug.

I am sorry, but this item cannot be tested in live environment, because the working driver for the Atmel chipset in Dapper is the one that I downloaded from berlios.de and compiled against 2.6.15 kernel in Dapper. The same driver could not be compiled straightforwardly in Feisty; I however compiled it after some hacking, but it didn't work and had the same keyboard freezing as the precompiled package. Of course I can't compile it from the live cd !!! What I can do is just to try if the Gutsy live CD has a working pre-compiled driver for Atmel USB WiFI NIC. I will try to download Gutsy asap.

[Bug 109836] Re: Linksys USB NIC prevents boot-up or locks system after plugging in after boot on Fiesty Fawn
Similar problem also for me. I have a SMC2662W USB wifi adapter, with atmel chipset. When I plug-in it, the keyboard apparently hangs (but really when I unplug the device all keystrokes appear on yhe terminal windows) . I have 2 boxes: one is a Dapper Drake LTS, 2.6.15-28-k7 #1 SMP PREEMPT, the other is Feisty Fawn 2.6.20-16-generic. This behaviour was initially the same on both, even after installing the proper packages by Synaptic. After that, I tried to compile the at76c50x driver from berlios.de in the Dapper box; and after installing the driver and the firmware from the same site, all was OK. But I didn't succeed in doing the same thing on the Feisty box. First, I had compiling problems because the sources were looking for linux/config.h - but I found that this header is no more used in the latest kernels, so I commented all the concerned "include" lines Anyway, no luck with Feisty. Apparently, the drivers in the repositories have problems, and the available sources do not compile against 2.6.20. -- Linksys USB NIC prevents boot-up or locks system after plugging in after boot on Fiesty Fawn https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/109836 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
