I have Edgy on my Dell Latitude CPx and am using a D-Link DWL-G132 rev A3 (P/N EWLG132EU.A3G), downloaded the latest drivers from the D-Link support site for the A3 rev. (DriverVer 05/08/2006,1.5.202.2)
To make my life easier I installed Gnome Network Manager on the system. If I install the driver using ndiswrapper -i neta5agu.inf and then do a modprobe ndiswrapper the machine hangs after about 2 seconds. What I have noticed is that when you disable DBus (/etc/init.d/dbus stop) and do the modprobe, you can continue working normally, however since Network Manager is not working there is nothing being done to the newly created wlan0 device. When I start wpa_supplicant (which is what Network Manager does in the background) on/with the wlan0 interface, the machine instantly hangs, without any kernel/syslog messages. iwlist wlan0 scan works. To get my system up and running I tried using the commercial product driverloader from linuxant, it works with the driver, but with the limitation of not being able to use WPA or WPA2. Hope this helps anyone. -- ndiswrapper usb dongle freezes X https://launchpad.net/bugs/18362 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
