I have this issue on a Dell Latitude CPi and D-Link USB wireless dongle model DWL-G132. Works fine in 386 kernels, but various 686 kernels, including 2.6.15-27 cause the kernel to hang.
Here's output from /var/log/messages under the 386 kernel: Dec 2 11:47:26 localhost kernel: [17179650.384000] ndiswrapper version 1.8 loaded (preempt=yes,smp=no) Dec 2 11:47:26 localhost kernel: [17179650.704000] ndiswrapper: driver athfmwdl (,12/05/2003,1.00.001) loaded Dec 2 11:47:26 localhost kernel: [17179651.204000] usbcore: registered new driver ndiswrapper Dec 2 11:47:26 localhost kernel: [17179651.632000] usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 2 Dec 2 11:47:26 localhost kernel: [17179651.632000] ndiswrapper (IoWMIRegistrationControl:1003): Dec 2 11:47:26 localhost kernel: [17179651.872000] usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3 Dec 2 11:47:26 localhost kernel: [17179652.116000] ndiswrapper: driver neta5agu (D-Link,10/06/2004,1.0.1.41) loaded Dec 2 11:47:26 localhost kernel: [17179653.404000] wlan0: vendor: '' Dec 2 11:47:26 localhost kernel: [17179653.404000] wlan0: ndiswrapper ethernet device 00:11:95:d6:1d:89 using driver neta5agu, 2001:3A02.F.conf Dec 2 11:47:26 localhost kernel: [17179653.404000] wlan0: encryption modes supported: WEP; TKIP with WPA; AES/CCMP with WPA -- ndiswrapper usb dongle freezes X https://launchpad.net/bugs/18362 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
