Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.19-6-generic
The 2.6.19 kernel and restricted madwifi driver now in feisty does not
work with my laptop's (built in) wireless chip, an Atheros AR5005G
according to lspci. I see "irq 19: nobody cared" from the kernel
shortly after boot, and the card then doesn't send or receive packets.
The message suggests trying the "irqpoll" boot option, but if I do that
the system hangs immediately after the keyboard driver loads.
I am stuck on 2.6.17 (and therefore must put udev on hold) due to this
bug.
I will attach complete dmesg output.
** Affects: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.19 (Ubuntu)
