Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-restricted-modules
I have an HP Pavilion dv5000 and a ASUS A6Tc. Both have the same
wireless card:
Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN
Controller (rev 02)
Using restricted drivers in Unbuntu, Debian and other systems ( =
fwcutter) results in the computers to freeze. This happens with all the
Ubuntu versions which include the possibility of self-configuring
restricted drivers, including Hardy Alpha6. The freezings are more
frequent and more severe with the newer versions.
I solved the problem under Debian Lenny in the ASUS computer. I have
tried several solutions and the only one that actually works is
compiling and using NDISWRAPPER.
I tried all alternatives in the HP computer with Hardy Alpha6 but
nothing works (freezings with fwcutter and no wireless with
Ndiswrapper).
The ASUS computer has an NVIDIA graphics card whereas the HP has an ATI.
The ASUS has a double-core AMD Turion processor (I use 64 bit kernels)
and the HP is 32 bit (AMD Sempron).
