Etienne, Ah, you switched to another NIC altogether. I'll second your conclusion of "too buggy to use". Originally, I would have avoided these issues entirely by upgrading from this server from 8.04 LTS to 10.04 LTS, but one of my good friend's only hard drive is on its last legs, and he needed a really, really cheap replacement asap...so I got a new drive triple the size, and gave him my gently used one for a friends-only price. As you've noticed, the linux kernel seems to have been going through another round of growing pains. I worried that JFS (which I've used for four years on the same Ubuntu installation) might suffer a regression as a result, as developer focus seems to be on ext4, btrfs, and various flash file systems. I've never liked ext3, especially for huge (for me, anything over 250GB is huge) partitions. Ext4 was marked stable, and Jaunty shipped with support for it. After verifying its stability on my old workhorse laptop, I decided to switch my family & friends mail/media/centre for non-linear musical collaboration...server to Jaunty...and I only have a week before I help my friend migrate to his new drive, so I've been calmly, but as quickly as possible, trying to have both ext4 (future-proofing) and my wireless NIC fully functional before that happens...without spending any more money.
>From what I've seen of linux-2.6.30.x, the turbulence is history (for now)...and think that it's reasonable for us to expect that 9.10 Karmic is going to be really, really good. :-D Cordially, Nicolas -- [broadcom 4311] wi-fi always drops https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297959 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
