Public bug reported: I have installed several versions of Kubuntu and Ubuntu on a Dell Inspiron 6400 and a Dell Inspiron 1501, which require Ndiswrapper to use Wifi.
Ndiswrapper works like a charm on Ubuntu, but *always* hangs Kubuntu's startup at "Configuring Network Interfaces" for about 4 minutes. I've always used the latest stable version of Ndiswrapper and I setup my wifi by following these guides: On my Inspiron 6400: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4311_rev_01_%28ndiswrapper%29 On my Inspiron 1501: http://ubuntu1501.blogspot.com/2007/01/fixing-wifi-on-dell-1501.html ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Sun Mar 11 14:14:26 2007 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 7.04 Uname: Linux caracas 2.6.20-9-generic #2 SMP Mon Feb 26 03:01:44 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed ** Description changed: I have installed several versions of Kubuntu and Ubuntu on a Dell Inspiron 6400 and a Dell Inspiron 1501, which require Ndiswrapper to use Wifi.
