I have a similar problem with my desktop computer, I have a VIA VT6102 Ethernet card installed.
It worked fine with my first ever install of linux - Ubuntu Dapper. Worked fine - as in connecting to the net through my Linksys WAG54G ver.2 router. However, when I tried to install a USB2 WUSB54G wireless -G Adaptor and tried to configure it / activate it = freeze. Also had difficulty switching from eth0. *-usb description: Generic USB device product: Wireless-G USB Network Adapter vendor: Cisco-Linksys physical id: 5 bus info: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:5 version: 0.04 capabilities: usb-2.00 configuration: driver=rtusb maxpower=300mA speed=480.0MB/s *-network description: Ethernet interface product: VT6102 [Rhine-II] vendor: VIA Technologies, Inc. physical id: 12 bus info: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:12.0 logical name: eth0 version: 78 serial: *********** size: 100MB/s capacity: 100MB/s width: 32 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: bus_master cap_list ethernet physical tp mii 10bt 10bt-fd 100bt 100bt-fd autonegociation If you want me to provide further information you will have to tell me exactly what to type - also I would like to know how to add the acpi=noirq option - is this my best choice? -- [regression] Wired ethernet (VIA VT6102 Rhine II) and Wireless (RaLink 2500) no longer work under 6.06 (needs acpi=noirq blacklisting) https://launchpad.net/bugs/48263 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
