2007-10-24 Thread Phil Estes
Yes, it was made clear in the release notes and article that the latest driver still does not have "2.6.23 kernel support", which is most likely a euphemism for not handling the SLUB allocator which is default in 2.6.23. However, the bright side according to the article is that next month's drop i

It may be worth noting that looking to other new or upcoming releases of other distros is not going to help. Although I initially was frustrated with Ubuntu (and yes, there are other suggestions for improved communication of the problem to users), the frustration should be pointed towards AMD as C

I can confirm as an employee of a company with 1000s of Thinkpad users who use various distros, but lots of Ubuntu, this is going to really suck. I just decided to try Gutsy and this is the one thing that is a real downer to hear that no one really cares if ATI-based notebook users just can't susp

this is most likely bug 121653.. a problem with fglrx (ATI binary driver) and the new SLUB allocator. Summary of #121653 (my paraphrase): ATI needs to fix the fglrx driver since it's closed source, and Ubuntu kernel devs aren't willing to return to SLAB allocator which doesn't cause the fglrx driv

if it helps your investigations, 8.4 is the first in the 8.x series that works reliably for me on suspend/resume and various crashes/hangs I was getting on any earlier version of fglrx. I have now had a 5 or 6 days of uptime on 8.4 and multiple suspend/resumes (with no changes to the acpi default

ATI released Catalyst 8.1 this morning (at least my RSS feed updated this AM with the news).. big claims in the readme: - Ubuntu 7.10 shown as supported - 2.6.23 suspend/resume issues (to ram or disk) fixed I will be trying it out this morning, but if this is a winner, I hope that Ubuntu will t

Yes--your patch fixes the issue--I'm back to the functionality I had in gutsy where NM can manage my wireless network connections (successfully). I believe I had seen that mentioned elsewhere--that madwifi isn't supporting wext very well--so your patch makes sense that it resolves the issue. --

We probably don't need too much more guessing about whether it's network manager or wpa_supplicant, etc.. for those who are reporting similarity to the original reporter the following experience is the common bond: - *can* connect using Atheros h/w to a protected or unprotected network using non

It should also be noted that this is a regression from gutsy (at least on my atheros hardware). In gutsy both NM and wpa_supplicant paths worked fine for WPA1/2, WEP, open connections to wireless networks. In Hardy (at least alpha4-6 where I can confirm) *only* wpa_supplicant (or iwconfig if you

i'm having the same issue after upgrading to 7.04 (i386) yesterday. I use rhythmbox daily to listen to hours of music, so this is definitely a huge change with feisty as I can't get through 10 minutes or more of music. I will try and generate a core file and get a backtrace for the problem -- a
