To get this working (for me) from maverick: Note: everything here was on i386
The latest automatically installed linux-version at this time (26th Feb 2011) is: linux-image-2.6.35-25-generic 2.6.35-25.44 Nothing required to get this. 1. Downloaded compat-wireless-2011-02-24 http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2011-02-24.tar.bz2 2. Untar and enter directory 3. ./scripts/driver-select rt2x00 # This parameter is documented in driver-select script help, but not the README 4. make # completed with no problems 5. sudo rmmod rt2800pci # not included in unload below 6. sudo rmmod rt2x00pci # not included in unload below 7. sudo make unload # unloads all affected drivers (except the two above - need to update compat-wireless) 8. sudo make install 9. sudo modprobe rt2800pci At this point everything worked ok, including removing the module when associated. To back this change out go back into the compat-wireless directory and run steps 5-7, then 1. sudo make uninstall 2. sudo modprobe rt2800pci # reinstate vanilla (broken) driver -- To get this working with the kernel-ppa version: 1. Install the kernel-ppa modules (linux-image-generic, linux-header-generic and linux-header) - I used version 2.6.38-999.201102240912 2. Folow steps 1-3 above 3. Edit config.mk and change COMPAT_LATEST_VERSION to 38 (was 39) 4. Follow steps 4-9 above Back out as for the maverick version. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/662288 Title: rt2800pci freeze on module unload [maverick i386] -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
