I tried this with Ubuntu 10.04 desktop i386, Fedora 19 Desktop AMD64, Windows Vista 32 bit, and Windows Vista 64 bit. ALL FAILED to boot when the wireless card was inserted. Windows Vista 64 bit also gave me a stop screen telling me there is an unresolvable hardware issue.
I'm pretty sure this indicates that this is not an error with Ubuntu. Christopher, I'll let you close this. Of course, if there is anything else you want me to do, let me know. Thanks for your help in debugging this issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1219599 Title: [ASRock X79 Extreme6] Booting fails with wireless n PCIe adapter (ASUS PCE-N10) Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When booting off the live CD for ubuntu-12.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso, ubuntu-12.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso, ubuntu-13.04-desktop-amd64.iso and a desktop installation of Ubuntu 12.04.3 AMD64, the computer failed to start when initializing the cfg80211 module. I know the wireless card is related to the failure because removing the card causes the machine to boot. Also, when booting with the ignore_loglevel option, booting frequently fails near messages about the cfg80211 module. I attached a screen shot of where the system halted when loading ubuntu-13.04 -desktop-amd64.iso with the ingore_loglevel option enabled. I know this wireless card normally works on Precise because I used it on the same install with different hardware. The apport-collect is for my current Precise install obviously without the wireless adapter. --- AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.25.
