How to apply the patch: You should uninstall the package linux-restricted-modules because the module from this package would be loaded instead of the newly compiled one.
Then enter the commands below in a terminal. Please note: The source code download is 150MB, i.e. several hours for dial-up. sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall sharutils mkdir fwlanusb cd fwlanusb wget 'http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13046036/fwlanusb.dif' apt-get source linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-12-386 cd linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24*/ patch -l -p1 < ../fwlanusb.dif cd fritz/fwlanusb/lib/ uudecode fwlanusb-lib.o.uu cd ../src make sudo checkinstall make install The last command will ask a question or two, use the default. At the point where the 10 package options are displayed, change the package name to something useful like "fwlanusb". -- fwlanusb crashes the system https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200589 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
