Public bug reported: Binary package hint: linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-14-generic
I was testing a WiFi adapter I've got quite some time ago on both my main system (Kubuntu 7.04 AMD64) and test system (Kubuntu 7.10 AMD64). The adapter is an Inventel USB WLAN, based on an Atmel at76c505a chip. I've managed to get it working once (on Feisty using KNetworkManager), but most of the time, it does not work (cannot associate to the acces point, using KNetworkManager or iwconfig), and the at76_usb driver often crashes when I unplug the adapter from the USB port, preventing the system to shutdown correctly (hard reset required). Both Feisty and Gutsy seem to have the same version 0.14beta1 of the driver bundled into the linux-ubuntu-modules package. On Gutsy, I've tried to build the driver from the at76c503a-source package (version 0.15~dev0.20070427-2) using module-assistant, but this fail with GCC complaining of a missing 'mac' field in some structure. Then, I've downloaded the latest version of the driver from http://at76c503a.berlios.de/, which is version 0.17 released on 2007-09-30. It compiles without any issue and works really fine for now on Gutsy. So it would be great to upgrade the at76c503a driver to this new version 0.17 to get these at76c50x based WiFi adapter working out of the box. ** Affects: linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Atmel at76 driver crashes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/152626 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
