Allright, here's a little workaround I got my system running with: The module r8180, which is supposed to support the Belkin F5D6001 out of the box, seems to crash the system on configuring the wlan - card. Here's what to do: 1. Blacklist r8180 by adding "blacklist r8180" in your /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, reboot the system 2. use ndiswrapper as documented on the ndiswrapper page, load the net8180 windows driver; it's important to use "ndiswrapper -d 1799:6001 net8180" to specify the device you want to use with the driver. Follow the further ndiswrapper - installation instructions. 3. configure your network as usual
Though this way seems to work, it's propably not a pro for ubuntu, if a new user sees his wlan card supported and ends up crashing badly. -- Belkin F5D6001 Freezing Ubuntu 7.10 RC1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/152102 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
