>From my experience, I was able to make a wireless card work using this driver (rt61) on one laptop but then on another laptop, it hangs and I get a kernel oops.
This is what we did on the current laptop: 1. Installed dapper 2. Dapper loads the rt61 module on its own 3. Upon running iwconfig, the terminal "hangs" 4. Checking dmesg reveals an oops message Unfortunately, I don't have the information about the message right now but I do remember something about a NULL (de)reference error or something similar. Once the kernel oopses, it would be necessary to power-cycle the machine. It's a mystery to me as to why this happens since I was able to make the driver work on another laptop. Perhaps some details about the hardware are different? -- RT61 driver hangs net, if interface accessed while down https://launchpad.net/bugs/48087 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
