[Bug 34902] Re: Ralink Wireless USB/PCMCIA/PCI hangs PC
Honestly, if the license premits, then I think it would be much better to setup the Restricted Drivers manager to handle this using ndiswrapper. The ndiswrapper drivers tend to work really well for this card. I have this working myself (Linksys WUSB54gv) on feisty and I haven't had a freeze but from dapper to edgy the freezes have come. I haven't used feisty much though so it might also freeze there. My understanding is that once a few thins get worked out this will become part of the upstream kernel. I think it would be wise to wait for that, and simply provide the option for people to have this installed if they have this driver. SO that the people who this works for can use it. And for those whom this driver does not work, they can find a different method. My experiance has had this driver causeing hard freezes.( This driver being the rt2570 driver). It doesn't seem to me that there is an actual deb for this, rather it is built in with the kernel, (or as a module). Why not have it be seperate from the kernel? (If ndiswrapper is not an option that's ok the point of this was to say that this driver doesn't seem to be 100% stable, and should not be built in by default. If it were a deb uninstalling would be much easier.)

[Bug 34902] Re: Ralink Wireless USB/PCMCIA/PCI hangs PC
This seems to be a bug in the rt2570 module. Since you can also use ndiswrapper to drive these cards (at least those of us on intel boxes), there is a simple workaround: disable the rt2570 module. You can compile it out, or just add these two lines to your /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist: # use ndiswrapper instead for rt2x00 devices: rt2570 panics kernel blacklist rt2570 With rt2570 disabled, my device works as expected, appearing as the wlan0 interface (ndiswrapper), rather than rausb0 (rt2570). -- Ralink Wireless USB/PCMCIA/PCI hangs PC https://launchpad.net/bugs/34902 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 34902] Re: Ralink Wireless USB/PCMCIA/PCI hangs PC
Here is some additional information: Playing around in a text console, it appears that the freeze is caused by a kernel panic that occurs when we hit a BUG in a bh context at kernel/timer.c, line 411 (in cascade, an inline function that appears in __run_timers, which itself is an inline function that appears in run_timer_softirq, which is run in a bh context). Here's the trace I was working from. The code indicates that it's line 411 of some file: Code: ... 0f 0b 9b 01 ee 03 30 c0 ... It panics, so I couldn't conclusively trace which file from the panic, but I think it's clearly kernel/timer.c, given the stack trace.

Since this is a double-fault, I'm curious if we can't just disable BUG()'s in the kernel (by recompiling). I don't know if the system will recover or not - it realizes something's wrong, but we panic since it reports the BUG in BH context, not necessarily because the problem is un-recoverable. I just did a build with big-kernel-lock pre-emption (CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL) turned off, and I didn't see any touble. So this may be a pre-emption issue. The kernel that had the problem and the one that didn't is a pretty big configuration delta, so I'm still trying to figure out what fixed it.

[Bug 34902] Re: Ralink Wireless USB/PCMCIA/PCI hangs PC
Oh, more information, for those more interested in getting their card working than in fixing kernel bugs: I was able to get my card up by properly configuring /etc/network/interfaces manually, in the standard Ubuntu kernels, with DHCP. I can get exactly one ifup command through per reboot. You can also do one ifdown afterwards. However, on the second ifup the system panic's. I think the wizard does several ip-down steps, which triggers the panic. The end of my /etc/network/interfaces file, where I added wireless configs, looks like this: iface rausb0 inet dhcp wireless-essid your ssid wireless-key your WEP key *Don't* declare your interface auto in /etc/network/interfaces, since that tells automatic processes that they can up/down that interface, which will panic your kernel. I have a simple script that checks if i've ever up'ed the card (by reading the ESSID from iwconfig), and only up's it once, and that is in my startup scripts: is_wlan_up=$(iwconfig 2/dev/null | grep '^rausb0' | sed -e 's/^.*ESSID://' | cut -d\ -f2) [ $is_wlan_up ] || ifup rausb0 That was sufficient to get my D-Link DWL-g122 USB card (rt2500 based) working with Ubuntu.

Hi all, Running Dapper 2.6.15-26-386 on an MSI 654 Ultra (MS-6547 v.1) with a Matrox G550. (The mobo BIOS has not been updated since purchase.) I installed an Asus WL-167G USB 2.0 wifi adapter (Ralink RT2500 chipset) which initially worked fine out of the box, using default Dapper drivers. I plugged it in, configured the network settings, and it connected to my router without problems. It ran flawlessly for several weeks until I decided to use the the System Administration Networking tool to change the configuration from static addressing to DHCP. I made the change, clicked OK and the system locked up, solidly. As others have reported above, all I could do was hard reboot. I disabled the interface and tried to re-enable it, but doing so froze the system (as did each subsequent attempt). The solution (for me) turned out to be very simple. In /etc/network/interfaces I added the statement auto rausb0 immediately above the section for my wireless interface. So, the wlan section in my interfaces file now looks like: auto rausb0 iface rausb0 inet static (... etc.) After rebooting, the command did its job and auto-started the interface. So far so good. Seems to be working fine and is a simple and benign fix. Hope this proves to be helpful to someone. -- Ralink Wireless USB/PCMCIA/PCI hangs PC https://launchpad.net/bugs/34902 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have similar feedback to rlancefield. I'm using an up to date dapper install with kernel 2.6.15-26-686 and an asus wl-167g usb 80211b/g adapter which uses the ralink rt2570 chip I think.

Hello Dimitri I am making the point that whether using an older or newer version of the kernel, whether 386 or 686, it works for me. Of course, this doesn't immediately help you if it isn't working for you. But at least the developer knows that there are platforms where it works perfectly, and that it isn't an issue of kernel compilation optimisation. It also lets the developer know that the existing kernel module is very useful to those for whom it works. After all, the developer will normally get comments from those who are having a problem with this module, and is less likely to get a comment from those who are not having trouble. This has 2 effects: 1)The developer can look at the hardware differences to help identify the bug, perhaps it is a dual cpu problem, or a cardbus bridge problem? 2)Lets the developer know not to delete the driver as doing so will inconvenience many users. I have used this driver on two other systems, and each time, it has worked perfectly.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but first you used a kernel for a 386. The one you used after the upgrade is for a 686-system. Is this a typing error?

The problem is in the Ubuntu patches as Debian unstable does not suffer this problem. Is there anyway we can get a kernel that doesn't have the wifi drivers in it?

Using the command sudo dhclient rausb0 allows me to connect to the internet on a WUSB54gv4 wifi card. Using a p4 1.7ghz Desktop with 512 mb of ram. However using the GUI for networking I the computer hangs. Sometimes it hangs on it's own. This problem also happens with the ndiswrapper drivers for my card, I do not know if that is related.

[Bug 34902] Re: Ralink Wireless USB/PCMCIA/PCI hangs PC
I also had to add irqpoll to the bootup (in /boot/grub/menu.lst, where it says kernel ... vmlinuz ... ro. I haven't tried removing the option from xorg, but my Avaratec now works. I added the irqpoll since I got the message that IRQ185 wasn't being handled. I think the irq multiplexer in the kernel confuses the display with the ralink card, or that the ralink driver is getting confused and wants to respond to display or conversely the card is pointing at the display IRQ. I think upping the debug on the kernel module and looking which IRQ it is trying to use might isolate the problem which I might try later. I'd also look for subtle changes with the IRQ master handling between 2.6.12 and the current kernel - including #def IRQ type things. -- Ralink Wireless USB/PCMCIA/PCI hangs PC https://launchpad.net/bugs/34902 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Re: Ralink Wireless USB hangs PC Posted by coldsalmon at 2006-05-28 07:42:39 UTC Me too, I'm running an Averatec 3715-EH1 laptop with an internal RT2500 wireless card. Worked perfectly in Breezy, then I apt-get dist-upgraded to Dapper yesterday. Now when I 'ifup ra0' or 'dhclient ra0' the system hangs. I had the same problem, I think that it has to do with the latest via Xorg driver. When I put: Option DisableIRQ to the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file the problem went away.

muadib how do you think the wifi and xorg are related to the hanging of the pc? I have suspected this but I have had no evidence to belive this. Or is it something to do with IRQ?
