I'm an ignorant newbie who just installed Ubuntu 8.04.1 Kernel 2.6.24-19 generic on an Advent 4211B (? = MSI Wind). One of my (fruitless) attempts to get the wifi card working was with Ndiswrapper. I had previously been using a wired connection to my Linksys WRT54G router, which connected to the internet via a cable modem and Telstra Bigpond as a service provider.
The above problem came up accompanied by 2-3 minute pauses before any application would run. I fixed it using the suggestion from Serenity: "go to the System Control Panel in the GUI: "->Admin -->Network ---> UNLOCK ----General: Remove Domain Name "Go to Hosts (Under Network) - delete 127.0.1.1 "Add 127.0.1.1" However - and this is reason for this post - I was fascinated to find that "Hosts" had contained references to Telstra which must have been acquired somehow by the network/wifi driver from some interrogation of the router. Since the problems only started after running ndiswrapper, I presume that this is responsible, but just how I cannot imagine. -- sudo fails if it cannot resolve the local hostname and no MTA is installed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/32906 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
