Public bug reported:
I'm using the Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex BETA . It's a clean install of the
system. The only thing I install is my wireless. So I do the following
steps:
1) activiation of wireless hardware on acer aspire 5024WLMi
sudo echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/acer-wmi/wireless
create the file /etc/init.d/acer-acpi with contents:
#!/bin/sh
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/acer-wmi/wireless
then I do:
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/acer-acpi /etc/rcS.d/S38acerwifi
sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/acer-acpi
2)install ndiswrapper
I install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9
sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf
ndiswrapper -l
sudo depmod -a
sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.orig
In /etc/network/interfaces I place:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
sudo ndiswrapper -m
in /etc/modules I place:
ndiswrapper
in /etc/default/wpasupplicant I place:
ENABLED=0
I create the file /etc/init.d/wirelessfix.sh with contents:
#!/bin/bash
modprobe -r b44
modprobe -r b43
modprobe -r b43legacy
modprobe -r ssb
modprobe -r ndiswrapper
modprobe ndiswrapper
modprobe b44
sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/wirelessfix.sh
sudo update-rc.d /etc/init.d/wirelessfix.sh defaults
And I reboot my system
When I log in to my system it hangs with message:
"Kernel panic - not syncing:Fatal exception in interrupt"
or sometimes with messages "wireless event too big" or "Fixing recursive fault
reboot is needed".
Under windows xp al my hardware seems to work. Last week I have done
this steps also under hardy heron 8.04.1 (using sudo echo 1 >
/sys/devices/platform/acer-acpi/wireless instead of sudo echo 1 >
/sys/devices/platform/acer-wmi/wireless) but same happened there.
