[Bug 306373] [NEW] Ubuntu crashes when connected to a wireless network
Public bug reported: Description: Ubuntu 8.10 Release: 8.10 Ubuntu crashes after a variable amount of time (it can be 10 minutes like it can be 1 hour) when connected to a wireless network. Seems to be directly related to the WiFi because Ubuntu always crashes when connected to a wireless network but never when disconnected. My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 1525. My WiFi card is a BCM4328 802.11a/b/g/n (Broadcom). description: Wireless interface product: BCM4328 802.11a/b/g/n vendor: Broadcom Corporation physical id: 0 bus info: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:0b:00.0 logical name: eth1 version: 03 serial: 00:1d:d9:6b:07:bd width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress bus_master cap_list ethernet physical wireless configuration: broadcast=yes driver=wl latency=0 module=wl multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11abgn Before Ubuntu 8.10, my WiFi card was unsupported. I was using 'ndiswrapper' to make it work and I had no problem at all. Ubuntu crashes since an update which replaced 'ndiswrapper' with this new driver, 'wl'. The crashes I experience are actually a complete and permanent freeze of the screen which forces me to use the Power Button to reset the computer. During the freeze, Shift Lock and Scroll Lock leds are blinking. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Ubuntu crashes when connected to a wireless network https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/306373 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

I have a very similar problem. I didn't notice this bug report so I created a new one a few days ago. I just marked it as a duplicate of this one.

[Bug 293869] Re: [Ralink rt61] impossible to connect to WPA and WPA2 wireless networks
I have similar problems. With the 'wl' driver, I am able to connect to a WPA but the connection breaks immediately. Because I am also concerned by the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296578 (no luck at all with wireless connections, you see :/), I recently blacklisted the 'wl' driver and replaced it with ndiswrapper to avoid system crashes. But now, it is impossible to connect to a WPA... network-manager tries to connect, asks me for the password, tries to connect, asks me for the password again... Of course, I am sure the password is correct. No problem at all with unsecure wireless networks however (both with wl and ndiswrapper), except, of course, the crash bug mentioned above (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296578). -- [Ralink rt61] impossible to connect to WPA and WPA2 wireless networks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293869 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

OK. I successfully reproduced the crash in a text window and I got: (Note that this information occupies one entire screen.

[Bug 263963] Re: [iwl*] NetworkManager/wicd fail to authenticate to WPA Enterprise networks
I have the same computer than Scott R. with the same wireless card. I confirm WPA-Personal networks do not work with that. Also tried many things like the gconf-editor intructions above, wicd, driver replacement, kernel downgrade... Nothing worked. -- [iwl*] NetworkManager/wicd fail to authenticate to WPA Enterprise networks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263963 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
[Bug 263963] Re: [iwl*] NetworkManager/wicd fail to authenticate to WPA Enterprise networks
I used alternatively 'wl' and 'ndiswrapper'. I can connect to & use open networks in both cases. For WPA networks, however, there are problems in both cases: -- With 'wl', the connection to a WPA network can be made but is not usable because it breaks quickly. This is described by https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293869. Because of an other (crash) bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296578), I blacklisted 'wl' and replaced it by 'ndiswrapper'. -- With 'ndiswrapper', I have the problem described here: network- manager tries to connect, asks me for the password, tries to connect, asks me for the password again... No more success with wicd. As you can see, no way to use WPA networks because of two different (?) bugs. I don't know if there is a link between them, if they share the same (or similar) causes so... I talked about both and let you decide. -- [iwl*] NetworkManager/wicd fail to authenticate to WPA Enterprise networks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263963 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
