Public bug reported:
My Texas Instruments TNET1130 wireless NIC has not been fully supported
in earlier versions of Ubuntu - I have had both 8.04 and 7.10 installed,
and each time I had to install ndiswrapper and use the windows driver to
get WPA support.
When I installed both Alpha6 and Beta of Intrepid, it initially worked OK, but
when I configured my WPA wireless network and rebooted, I would get to the
login screen, hear the drums and attempt to login before I ended up with a
kernel panic (caps and scroll lights on keyboard would go on solid and I would
get a hard freeze). Booting to single user mode was fine.
I changed to console view before the panic and got a partial stack trace on the
screen, which included several references to acx.
I disabled the acx module by moving
/lib/modules/2.6.27-4-generic/kernel/ubuntu/misc/wireless/acx/acx.ko out of
modules directory. I have since run lspci and the Ubuntu hardware testing
applet and in both cases the wireless card was identified as a "Texas
Instruments ACX 111 54Mbps Wireless Interface [104c:9066]". I do not think
this is correct. I have been using the TNET1130 driver.
