[Bug 292450] Re: Broadcom STA/wl driver causes random kernel panics

2010-05-11 Thread mcdjork
I have completely resolved (or worked around) this problem on my
computer. I was having major problems with freezing and kernel panics. I
was also losing my connection and not able to connect to certain
wireless networks because of their encryption type. I tried switching
between STA and bwfcutter multiple times.

This might be a little too dramatic of a solution for some, but I was
able to completely resolve the problem by simply replacing the wireless
card in my laptop.The Intel 3945ABG works natively with Linux, and you
can find it for about $10 online.

With it, there is no need to install third party drivers! Ubuntu works
on the first boot, no problems. It has saved me so many headaches with
Fedora, openSuse, Mandriva, Arch, Gentoo, etc etc. Since switching, I
haven't had a single kernel panic, and it's been several months.

I know this isn't a solution to the problem--I just thought I'd throw
the option out there to those who are interested.

This is the model I got: 
3945ABG Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG 802.11a/b/g Mini-PCI Express

[Bug 292450] Re: Broadcom STA/wl driver causes random kernel panics

2010-02-08 Thread mcdjork
If I'm not mistaken, this is an issue with the Broadcom STA driver,
specific to 64 bit operating systems. I have experienced identical,
random kernel attacks in Ubuntu 9.04, 9.10 and 10.4 Alpha2 as well as in
Fedora 12 and openSuse 11.2. If I use the b43 fwcutter extractor, the
panics do not occur. The drawback I have seen with the b43 tool however,
is that it doesn't support as many wireless encryption types--for
example, I cannot connect to a PEAP network at my office.

It may be a completely different issue, but wireless in my Windows 7 64
bit OS even becomes unresponsive, requiring a complete reboot.

Since the Broadcom STA driver is not open source, I don't believe there
is anything the Ubuntu team can do about this problem. I encourage
people to submit this issue to the Broadcom team by emailing linux-wlan-
client-support-l...@broadcom.com. I'd like to see this issue resolved!
