[Bug 219810] Re: zd1211rw freeDigicom USB Wave 54 causing Hardy freezes
** Description changed: Binary package hint: rhythmbox I'm experiencing hard lockups almost every time I use Rhythmbox in order to listen to any radio station. After just few minutes, the screen, mouse, keyboard and sound simple freeze and I'm forced to hard reset the PC. I'm using Hardy with the latest patches installed. Update: After having run some extra tests, I think I can say that the issue is not caused by Rhythmbox as such, but most likely either by my USB wireless adapter (Digicom USB Wave 54 - zd1211rw) or by the USB 2.0 PCI card (D-Link DU-520 with NEC chipset) to which the wireless device is connected. I even downloaded/installed the latest zd1211 firmware from sourceforge.net but with no success.. In fact, if I connect the PC with the onboard ethernet adapter (Intel Ethernet Pro 100) everything seems to work fine (I haven't experienced any lockups during the last hour or so).

[Bug 219810] Re: zd1211rw freeDigicom USB Wave 54 causing Hardy freezes
Hi Leann, I've noticed that I still get some hard lockups even when the USB wireless adapter is not connected. This happens far less frequently than with the zd1211rw/Digicom, still it happens and apparently it happens randomly. These are the latest 2 episodes: 1) The system completely froze at login yesterday. I switched on the PC and went away for 10 minutes during the boot process. When I came back the login screen was there and was completely frozen. 2) Another lockup occurred just some minutes ago: this time I was surfing the net (FF3 b5) and listening to a web radio with Rhythmbox I can't say whether this lockups are in any way related to the ones I get with the wireless adapter, the only thing I can say is that they are less frequent and happen randomly. Please find attached a new dmesg output (btw, I've now switched back to kernel 2.6.24). ** Attachment added: dmesg_date23-05-2008.txt http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14677255/dmesg_date23-05-2008.txt -- zd1211rw freeDigicom USB Wave 54 causing Hardy freezes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219810 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

[Bug 219810] Re: zd1211rw freeDigicom USB Wave 54 causing Hardy freezes
Pasting reply from Fabrizio below: Hi Leann, Thanks for your reply. I tried the 2.6.25 kernel some days ago (I saw that you suggested this to someone else on ubuntuforums.org). The installation went fine but when I rebooted into 2.6.25 I couldn't get the system to start in graphical mode. I suspect that this was due to the fact that I installed the nvidia restricted drivers and I couldn't find the restricted modules in the PPA repositories. I had to go back to 2.6.24. Where can I find the restricted modules for 2.6.25? Is there a workaround? Thanks in advance Fabrizio Hi Fabrizio, Unfortunately linux-restricted-modules-2.6.25 is not yet available, but it should be soon. It's fine if you'd prefer to wait for the lrm-2.6.25 package to hit the PPA and then test even though I would think you should still be able to test your system as it was noted that the zd1211rw driver is the real source of the issue.

Hi Leann, I've just tried the 2.6.25 kernel without the restricted nvidia drivers (I used the nv ones instead), still the system freezes randomly when I use the USB wireless adapter.
