I originally reported this in #34958. I can confirm the acpi=noirq option in the appropriate menu.lst entry works. However current ISOs do not include this fix, which makes it very difficult for a new user to update their system unless they are aware of this bug report and read it completely. Is there a better way to let Averatec owners know about this ?
The blacklisting is now automatic, but only after applying a kernel upgrade. So, basically, if one has an Averatec 3250HX-01 like me, they have to first manually modify the menu.lst entry for the kernel they load and add the acpi=noirq option to enable network access, and apply current updates to the kernel. -- [regression] Wired ethernet (VIA VT6102 Rhine II) and Wireless (RaLink 2500) no longer work under 6.06 (needs acpi=noirq blacklisting) https://launchpad.net/bugs/48263 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
