I recently read that Atheros can work either with ath5k or ath9k so I blacklisted the prior and enabled the latter on bootup the following way.
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf blacklist ath5k sudo nano /etc/modules ath9k Again, this allows me to start vlc with ir support enabled and only ends in a kernel panic when the remote is utilized --which is better than opening vlc with ir support and have it cause the kernel panic. All this makes me think there are two bugs here, a conflict between ath6k and lirc and the other between ath9k against lirc, the earlier being the worse since it's the most incapacitating. So presumably you can now surf wirelessly and reliably, just don't use the ir remote, still. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1222070 Title: Kernel Panic --not syncing fatal exception in interrupt To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1222070/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
