I have very same problem. My computer is an old HP Compaq nx9100 and b43legacy isn't working in a fresh Kubuntu 9.04 system so I need to install ndiswrapper but it conflicts with b44, b43legacy, and ssb so I was force to modify rc.local to get de wifi working. Maybe it helps; I send information about the system before and after modifying rc.local. I opted by blacklisting anything.
By the way rc.local changes are: rmmod b44 rmmod b43legacy rmmod ssb modprobe ndiswrapper ** Attachment added: "[before_and_after_rc.local_change].log.tar.gz" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/27907159/%5Bbefore_and_after_rc.local_change%5D.log.tar.gz -- Module b44 interfering with ndiswrapper upon startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/214917 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
