Mark, thanks again for your logs! adneto: does your connection remain stable over time? After 15min to an hour, kernels which produce those PHY transmission error crash my wireless router.
I'm posting some links to some kernels which might work. Please do not enable the PPA, as synaptic will push multiple kernel upgrades onto your system over time. Here's a link to the Ubuntu kernel team's build of the 2.6.30-series kernel that works flawlessly for me: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.30.4/linux-image-2.6.30-02063004-generic_2.6.30-02063004_i386.deb and the headers http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.30.4/linux-headers-2.6.30-02063004-generic_2.6.30-02063004_i386.deb I'm currently very busy with work, and the end of my summer term, if anybody has an hour or so of free time, would they please consider running these tests to begin to pinpoint which kernel version fixed this bug?: First, confirm that the above linked kernel works. Then try this one: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.29.6/linux-image-2.6.29-02062906-generic_2.6.29-02062906_i386.deb and the headers http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.29.6/linux-headers-2.6.29-02062906-generic_2.6.29-02062906_i386.deb and then this one http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.29/linux-image-2.6.29-020629-generic_2.6.29-020629_i386.deb and the headers http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.29/linux-headers-2.6.29-020629-generic_2.6.29-020629_i386.deb linux-2.6.28.10 still has the bug. Once we find the kernel closest to Jaunty's which has a functional b43 driver, it should be possible to backport a fix. I'm going to open a bug at bugzilla.kernel.org after we've assembled enough information for them to be able to fix it. Fact: not all the Ubuntu CDs that Joe-random-new-user finds are going to be the Hardy release. Just the other day I saw Jaunty CDs in the faculty of *English Literature* department lounge at my university. There's a fair chance Joe-random-new-user's NIC won't work, and he'll have a bad first experience with Ubuntu. Asking him (or her) why he didn't use another release won't mean anything to him, because he doesn't yet know anything about Ubuntu... Please test these three kernels (2.6.30.4, 2.6.29.6, and 2.6.29) and report back with what works. Don't worry about logs for this yet, it's just a pragmatic test to find out when b43 started to work again.
