i have a Realtek RTL-8185 IEEE 802.11a/b/g Wireless Lan Controller (if i knew the ubuntu equivalent of /etc/sysconfig/hwconf i'd give you better detail). it's working, mostly, in hardy, but lifeless in intrepid.
i say mostly, in hardy, because it spuriously ceases to communicate, whereupon if i do ifdown wlan0 and ifup wlan0 it gets going again. in hardy i have: linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-23-generic 2.6.24-23.30 linux-backports-modules-hardy 2.6.24.23.25 linux-backports-modules-hardy-generic 2.6.24.23.25 linux-generic 2.6.24.23.25 linux-image-2.6.24-23-generic 2.6.24-23.46 linux-image-generic 2.6.24.23.25 in intrepid i've had no luck. with no luck on the vanilla kernel, i then tried: linux-backports-modules-intrepid_2.6.27.9.13_i386.deb linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic_2.6.27.9.13_i386.deb linux-backports-modules-2.6.27-9-generic_2.6.27-9.5_i386.deb no luck again, so then tried: add: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/timg-tpi/ubuntu hardy main # apt-get update # apt-get install linux-backports-modules-2.6.27-11-generic which gets: linux-image-2.6.27-11-generic_2.6.27-11.23_i386.deb linux-backports-modules-2.6.27-11-generic_2.6.27-11.12_i386.deb still no luck, so tried: delete: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/timg-tpi/ubuntu hardy main add: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid-proposed restricted main multiverse universe # apt-get update # apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid which gets: linux-backports-modules-intrepid_2.6.27.11.14_i386.deb linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic_2.6.27.11.14_i386.deb and still no luck, so i'm stumped. lsmod includes: rtl8180 36480 0 lbm_cw_mac80211 217896 1 rtl8180 lbm_cw_cfg80211 46744 2 rtl8180,lbm_cw_mac80211 eeprom_93cx6 10240 1 rtl8180 ifconfig includes: wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:14:d1:41:f8:9a UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) wmaster0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-14-D1-41-F8-9A-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) my /etc/network/interfaces, which works fine in hardy, is: auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp wireless-essid wm wireless-key 12345bcdef -- rtl8185 freezes on connect to network https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/152527 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
