Hi, This is just a guess, but according to this mailing list post: http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0903.0/00005.html the firmware files downloaded from gitweb are getting corrupted due to a bug in gitweb.
"The correct agere_sta_fw.bin is 65046 bytes long. The corrupted agere_sta_fw.bin is 89729 bytes long. There is a way to recode the original binary with GNU recode: recode utf8..iso8859-1 agere_sta_fw.bin" I tried downloading that firmware, fixing it with recode, and placing it in /lib/firmware on my jaunty alpha 5 installation with a lucent/orinoco silver card. It seems to have worked - dmesg now reports that the card can do WPA, but I haven't had a chance to test the WPA yet. On another note, if this works, it would be nice if there was an ubuntu package with it. It takes some hunting to figure out that you have to download the firmware yourself :) -- Kernel oops loading Agere firmware (orinoco module) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315489 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
