+ Re-opening this bug. Original bug was filed against Ubuntu 8.10, but is still
present in Natty, Oneiric, and Precise beta 1.
Original Bug: bug #368679.
Description:
On computers with some rtl818x chip based wifi cards, when module rtl8180 is
modprobed this causes a complete freeze of the system.
This issue is severe for two reasons:
* computers with such wifi cards aren't able to connect to their network via
wifi through a native linux driver;
* because rtl8180 is modprobed at startup, when a new user tries Ubuntu on
such computer, the liveCD will show a black screen without any error message,
and then the user will blame Ubuntu.
- Affected Ubuntu releases: Intrepid, Jaunty, Karmic, Natty
+ Affected Ubuntu releases: Intrepid, Jaunty, Karmic, Natty, Oneiric,
+ Precise beta 1
Affected wifi cards (examples):
* MSI PC54G3 III (chipset RTL8185L)
* Zyxel G-302 V3
Workarounds:
* ndiswrapper:
* works on Intrepid and Natty but not on Jaunty
* manual install of Realtek's supported driver:
* status unknown
