No it would not unless there has been some change pertaining to this particular driver, in which case I would be willing to but it might take several days before I can get to it. . I can no longer take responsability for testing Oneiric kernels in the laptop, as I have moved it to Precise, have a very, very slow connection at home, and on the road do not have time for all the multiple reboots necessary to test kernels for two different versions of Ubuntu. The only Oneiric partitions I now have are backups, usable but never updated. On top of all else every kernel or initramfs update means rerunning a series of scripts for boot integrity checking and hash storage (against the "evil maid" password keylogger) on these encrypted machines, whose boot partitions are not even mounted in normal use. In short, testing every kernel in the laptop when I can only get them on the road and can never actually use them because of this unresolved bug has been too much work, so I can only test the versions in Precise which come in with the rest of the packages unless there has been a change to the driver for the wireless card used in this machine . On top of that I tend to forget things and on the road would be likely to forget to download a kernel form a differnt repo for testing. It is probably impossible to download it from where I am right now, on a connection with speeds in the 5kB/sec range.I was able to get the changelog, and only see two wireless references: one to Lenovo (not this machine) the other to a "beacon" when updating regulatory information, which does not happen when a connection is active. The nature of thebug, as I have said before, seems to be one of breaking connection on refresh, so some way of preventing the network manager from refreshing the connection information might be a workaround.
At this point, it would literally be easier for me to trash that wireless card than to deal with this if the old kernel becomes unusable with a newer version of Ubuntu. > Date: Mon, 24 Oct 2011 16:33:27 +0000 > From: joseph.salisb...@canonical.com > To: lukek...@hotmail.com > Subject: [Bug 799290] Re: wireless repeatedly connects and disconnects with > kernel 3.0 > > Would it be possible for you to test the following kernel: > http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.1-rc10-oneiric/ > > -- > You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug > report. > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/799290 > > Title: > wireless repeatedly connects and disconnects with kernel 3.0 > > To manage notifications about this bug go to: > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/799290/+subscriptions -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/799290 Title: wireless repeatedly connects and disconnects with kernel 3.0 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/799290/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
