Public bug reported:
A really strange bug, i found this bug on 2 different machine.
1.) Take a PC with an NVIDIA G-Force Card
2.) Plug in any PCI Wireless Network Card
3.) Boot Ubuntu, configure wlan(WEP), everything is ok
4.) enable the restricted NVIDIA Kernel driver.
5.) Reboot
6.) WLAN will stop working after few MBs are tranfered.
- /etc/init.d/network reload doesnt help
- every ping has a timeout
- after a reboot, everything is fine for some minutes, or some transfered
MBs.
7.) With the open source NV driver, everything is allright, wlan works perfect!
Tested with this machines:
- Ubuntu 7.04, AMD X2 4200+, 1024MB, Via Chipset, G-Force 7800 GTS, Zyxel
AG-320 (ndiswrapper)
- Ubuntu 7.04, AMD Athlon 1400+, 512MB, Via Chipset, G-Force 5600, D-Link
