Package: ndiswrapper Version: 1.28-1 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
If you use the ndiswrapper module with the USR805422 card, according with the ndiswrapper wiki page, the whole system will be unstable. If you try to remove the usb wifi card or use wpa will cause: 1) The module eat all cpu (100% of usage) 2) You are unabled to use ifconfig or ever program which use the device, because they will stuck forever 3) You are unabled to unload the module 4) You ougth power off your computer, because the shoutdown sequence will never done. This card works with kernel 2.6.18 and ndiswrapper 1.21. Ndiswrapper 1.21 doesn't compile anymore with kernel 2.6.19, then most users will switch to newest releases, which likely break their system. I know that this bug may depend to the windows driver, but this card is really popular in my country and a kernel module shouldn't break the whole system like it does. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (650, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18.9 Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- | / | \Byte - Andrea Briganti - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://kbytesys.altervista.org - ICQ: 40872731 CSLug member: http://cslug.linux.it - JID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** Un giorno forse gli uomini saranno in grado di comprendersi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
