[Bug 299808] Re: No Atheros Wireless with Kernel 2.6.24-21-generic in 8.04 (hardy)
We do not know what's inside the closed source ATI driver, thus have no idea if that helps those drivers. Basically, the backports-modules package includes drivers back ported from more recent kernel, which are normally pretty safe. Given the result, I'd like to first close this bug atm. Thanks very much for the testing. -- No Atheros Wireless with Kernel 2.6.24-21-generic in 8.04 (hardy) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/299808 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

Thanks for your reply. After many updates, kernel 2.6.24-24-generic [currently at 2.6.24-24.56 from the Hardy - Proposed repository] became workable for me. It resumes from suspend/hibernate most of the time, Atheros wireless works except sometimes after resume from suspend/hibernateand ALSA sound works as well. But closed-source ATI driver does not work -- when I try to enable it and reboot, it still is not enabled. Would installing linux-backports-modules-hardy help with other things besides wireless (e.g. closed-source ATI driver, more reliable resume from suspend/hibernate)? On the other hand, are there any known risks to installing linux-backports-modules-hardy given my situation? -- No Atheros Wireless with Kernel 2.6.24-21-generic in 8.04 (hardy) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/299808 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

Hi Ohb01, Thanks for your report and sorry for late reply on this. Can you confirm this issue exists with the most recent Jaunty Jackalope 9.04 release - http://www.ubuntu.com/news/ubuntu-9.04-desktop? Or if you still want to use hardy, can you please try installing the linux-backports-modules- hardy package. The linux-backports-modules-hardy package contains and updated compat-wireless stack which may help. Be sure to reboot after installing this package in order to test. Please let us know your results. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- No Atheros Wireless with Kernel 2.6.24-21-generic in 8.04 (hardy) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/299808 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
