Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: module-init-tools
Hi, there is a broken wlan driver, causing a kernel-oops and system
freeze in the ubuntu-sources (bug #78255). This driver is abandoned and
experimental.
This bug is a boot-stopper for ppl like me having this wlan chipset
onboard. there is no BIOS option for disabling the wlan chipset and
there is no way to prevent feisty from loading this driver.
I suggest to add the kernel module "r8187" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
as soon as possible.
People could still try to modprobe new versions of the driver, but you
should really stop this driver from autoloading.
I would be happy if I could finally boot/install feisty/herd5 normally
:)
