Hi, On my particular hardware this does not result in a soft lock, but a complete hard freeze. If I download the original driver for the rt61 from sourceforge, and recompile it, it does not cause any issue.
On Gutsy the same problem was present, but only caused the networking to stop working (and motivated the reader of the log file to file a bug report). On Feisty and before it seems to work. It is a show stopper for lots of people running ralink cards, and it is not obvious at all why it is happening (I spent a day trying different nvidia drivers, downgraded to gutsy where it became obvious that the bug that stopped networking in gutsy, stopped the whole computer in Hardy). The original source doesn't have this problem. Perhaps the rt61 driver should be separated from the kernel, until the driver is solid enough to be included by default? -- soft lock in linux-2.6.24-16-generic related to rt61pci module https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223208 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
