Re: [Bug 196285] Re: [Regression] Realtek RTL-8185 Wifi not recognized in Hardy 8.04 Alpha 5
I just upgraded to 8.10 from 8.04 and I can confirm that the WiFi hardware is recognized and working. I did have to do a "sudo modprobe rtl8180" before it was recognized. As has been reported elsewhere (http://willdaniels.co.uk/articles/howto-guides/10-howto/12-r8180-hardy) and (http://willdaniels.co.uk/articles/howto-guides/10-howto/15-rtl8180-hardy), the network strength indicator shows much lower status then what it is probably getting. In a few cursory bandwidth tests it is pegging out as high as my DSL + home router combo should be delivering. On an aside, the screen used to get all garbled anytime the screen would go to screensaver or display would power off and I'd have to restart gdm. That doesn't look to be happening anymore - Ubuntu FTW! Kudos to the team and their efforts. -Brian On Sun, Oct 26, 2008 at 7:04 AM, Brett Alton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > I can also confirm that using the fix found here: > http://willdaniels.co.uk/articles/howto-guides/10-howto/12-r8180-hardy > using http://www.willdaniels.co.uk/attachments/rtl8185.zip, works > perfectly. > > Would you like me to post my dmesg and lspci for 8.04.1 and 8.10 LiveCD, > including before and afters with the patch for 8.04.1? > > -- > [Regression] Realtek RTL-8185 Wifi not recognized in Hardy 8.04 Alpha 5 > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196285 > You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber > of the bug. > > Status in "linux" source package in Ubuntu: Triaged > > Bug description: > First, I'd like to note there is a forum post related to this problem as > well http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4417010#post4417010 > > Scenario: > 1.

Note that recent updates to the kernel image (2.6.24.18) broke the driver. Running makedrv to rebuild the driver worked fine. -- [Regression] Realtek RTL-8185 Wifi not recognized in Hardy 8.04 Alpha 5 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196285 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Will, Very nice work and thank you so much for posting your changes. The build succeeded after applying your patch and so far the wireless adapter has been performing admirably (over the last several hours). Streaming, large downloads - no problem. Funny, I've always thought that the hardware that shipped with this laptop was bunk because with Vista I often had a lot of problems even getting a handshake going with the AP. I would always get "no response from router" until I got really close to the AP. With this realtek driver on Ubuntu it connects to WEP network even when I'm a few rooms away. Hmmm... The good news is I can officially ditch Vista on this laptop now :) This Hardy release really has a lot of nice touches and I'm excited that I can pretty much make Ubuntu my full time OS now. Hopefully this driver issue will be resolved by release. It would be a win for all the cheapo laptop owners out there! BTW I'm running on AMD64x2.

[Bug 196285] Re: [Regression] Realtek RTL-8185 Wifi not recognized in Hardy 8.04 Alpha 5
Hello, I am having the same issue using Hardy Beta 1. The Realtek 8185 was working OK with 7.10 (except for the issues with WEP networks where the caps lock light comes on and system freezes as has been reported by others elsewhere). I downloaded the UI installer from Realtek and have tried the various drivers included in the package: WinXP - ndiswrapper_loaddriver reports an error that it needs a 64 bit driver (I'm on AMD64x2) Win2000 - same problem Vista - incompatible ndis Vistax64 - no go x64 - ndiswrapper is able to load this driver (as evidenced in syslogs), but the system becomes unstable after a few seconds and subsequent reboots lock up until I remove the driver folder from ndiswrapper I also tried downloading the Linux driver from Realtek but its for an earlier kernel version and won't build for me. On a positive note, sound now works with Hardy (Gateway MT3423)! But no wireless is a major downer. I'm happy to provide more info as needed. ** Attachment added: "version.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12864161/version.log -- [Regression] Realtek RTL-8185 Wifi not recognized in Hardy 8.04 Alpha 5 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196285 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
