Hi All - Time is up We have been searching for a cure for, what was, a perfectly good driver for almost 6months with me on board. The solution discussed now is at best a 'get us through' solution. The fix works fine when broadband is behaving itself but, when it gets erratic at peak load times, the wireless driver crashes and requires a full re-boot to clear (is there a way of resetting the driver from the command line - the rest of the machine seems OK). The other night, after I had re-booted 10 times in half an hour, I decided that enough is enough. I will get rid of this wireless board - great board but, useless without a driver.
Of course, I could install a dedicated driver (which I have) but am not sure how to remove the other one first and then install with ndiswrapper (any simple instructions anyone). Given that this is such a show stopper for so many people, I am astounded that Ubuntu have not solved this problem; especially as the old driver works. I believe it is a hang over from the previous distribution so we approach at least a year and a half still with the problem!!! A disgrace. Who cares about Ubuntu if we cant use it. Can anybody recommend a card that does work out of the box by the way, that would be a great help. My Partner's Sony Viao laptop works faultlessly from a straight install so I know my problem is my driver. Regards Vici P.S. I hope you all get your cards working soon and don't have to wait another few years. -- [Hardy] Low bandwidth with rt2400 / rt2500 drivers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/190515 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
