Public bug reported: Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.20
I have a Wireless USB device, model Comtrend CT-WN4320Z. It works in Dapper but not in Edgy or Feisty. It seems that the problem is in the driver, the zd1211 module. As I read at http://zd1211.ath.cx, this module doesn't fit well with the Linux kernel so it's being rewrited to the new zd1211rw module, and this new rewritten module is now included in the 2.6.17 kernel and upper, deleting the old one included in the 2.6.15 module. I have had this problem with 2.6.17, 2.6.18 and 2.6.20 kernel versions. So I had to download the driver sources, compile and install the new module. It can live with the rewritten one, it seems. At least, I haven't had any problem. This bug seems common, the bugs #78311, #57810, #63664 and #72767 talk about the same. My suggestion is to include again in the kernels compiled by Ubuntu (if it is possible, since Edgy updates) until the rewritten module works perfectly. ** Affects: linux-source-2.6.20 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Add thw old zd1211 module to the kernel https://launchpad.net/bugs/79095 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
