I think I may have tracked down the problem, although I'm not sure why it is a problem. After extensive testing, when I build a kernel passing CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y to make, as it is in the ubuntu-style build above, the kernel will fail to connect wirelessly with the p54usb module. Without the option, it connects immediately. Tested it by rebuilding linux-image-2.6.38-7-generic with a minimal config, and seems to be working so far. Going to try rebuilding with a full generic config, but that will take about 3 hours.
Will include a patch of what I changed in build script. I don't see why the option should cause any problems, it only appears to add more verbose warnings to the build log. ** Patch added: "Remove the CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH option" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/722185/+attachment/1951848/+files/remove_debug_section_mismatch.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/722185 Title: Regression: Does not list available WLAN networks (p54) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
