Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
Distribution: Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn - Herd 3
Hardware: Zonet ZEW2501
Chipset: zd1211b
Driver: zd1211rw
Description:
Upon attempting to configure this wireless device with NetworkManager, the
window disappears and NetworkManager returns to the system tray. I am unable
to configure this device because the window goes away in what appears to be a
crash although it is still active in the tray and can be reopened. 'ifconfig'
and 'iwconfig' both show the device and report not conflicts. The system logs
appear normal and I didn't find any unusual behavior.
Attempted Solutions:
Believing it was a hardware conflict I have tried booting Ubuntu with the
following additional parameters...
"noapic nolapic"
"noapic nolapic pci=noacpi" - disables IRQ11 used by the device and causes it
to not appear
"noapic nolapic pci=noacpi irqpoll"
"acpi=off" - disables the device when used with any of the above parameters
Steps to Reproduce:
1.) Boot with Zonet ZEW2501 (zd1211b) in Feisty Fawn Herd 3
2.) Click the NetworkManager icon in the top right
3.) Select the wireless device from the list
4.) Click 'Properties'
5.) The properties dialog may appear briefly for a few seconds before all
NetworkManager windows disappear. Both the properties and the nm window
vanish, but NetworkManager is still running in the system tray on the top right.
