Rüdiger Kupper, one thing I noticed about the Bug Description: > Description: On computers with some rtl818x chip based wifi cards, when module rtl8180 is modprobed this causes a complete freeze of the system.
Let us not turn this into multi-hardware/vendor ID mega bug report, as they tend to be neglected due to being too broad. Hence, this report will only focus on the vendor ID you apported initially 10ec:8185. ** Summary changed: - wifi module rtl8180 freezes the system + 10ec:8185 modprobe wifi module freezes the system ** Description changed: - 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. + When 10ec:8185 module 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. + * My computer is unable to connect to the network via wifi through a native linux driver; + * because 10ec:8185 is modprobed at startup, the liveCD will show a black screen without any error message. 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 + --- AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.23.
