Steve B, if your system is hanging after booting up then we would need to capture the oops information. Could you please do so following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelTeamBugPolicies#Capturing_OOPs ?
** Description changed: My home network uses WPA and this connects and reports no problems in this respect however I can only load web pages etc for the first few seconds after the connection is made. My train operator offers free wifi and this has no encryption yet when I connect to this - within a minute the whole system freezes - no mouse movement etc and only a forced power off will recover it. - Is there an alternate driver or firmware package I need ? - --- + + 3.0.0-16-generic-pae - card picked up but unsuccesful in connecting + and seemed to cause kernel stalls and system hang. + + + 3.3.0-999-generic-pae card is not picked up at all. + + WORKAROUND: blacklist r8192e_pci. + + --- AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
