OK, I finally got a chance to try 10.04 and I confirm the lockup still exists.However, the error you report is easily resolved, you missed one rather poorly documented step. Use The Synaptic Package Manager to verify you do not have the default hsolink package loaded. Also remember sudo apt-g

I have not tried 10.04 yet, but probably will in the next week or so. If I had to guess right now I suspect what you are experiencing is an artifact of the somewhat publicized Ubuntu elimination of HAL in 10.04. In 10.04 Ubuntu totally eliminated the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL). The ozero

Not resolved, but we have isolated the cause to Gnome Network Manager and Modem Manager, and we do have a workaround. As a workaround you can go to the following URL http://www.pharscape.org/Quicksilver.html There are three packages you will need to download from the Pharscape site.Don't bui

I reported this problem quite some time ago, and considering it causes a total system lockup, I am surprised I cannot seem get anyone interested to actually do anything to get this fixed, but I have now confirmed what is actually happening. In a nutshell, when the USB subsystem detects the Quicksi

Finally some progress, I can stop the act of inserting the AT&T Quicksilver in the USB port from locking the system, and I may have just isolated what is really causing the lockup under Ubuntu 9.10. Go ahead download, build and install the Ozerocdoff package from http://pharscape.org/Quicksilver
