I have the same problem with ndiswrapper and my linksys wusb54g. The problem only seems to affect gnome though (in edgy), for me at least.
If I leave the network card plugged in when I boot up and try to log into gnome, I just get a blank screen and gnome never loads. But if I boot up with the network card unplugged, gnome loads fine, and I can then plug in the card and it will connect to the network. Everything works fine in gnome after that until I log out and try to log back into gnome. I have fluxbox installed as well, and it has no issues whether or not I leave the card plugged in, but if I try to run a gnome terminal from within fluxbox if I boot with the card plugged in or log out and back in after I've connected, I just get a blank black screen. Other apps seem to work fine: xterm, firefox, gaim all have no problem. -- ndiswrapper in modprobe.d causes system to semi-hang during login https://launchpad.net/bugs/60313 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
