To summarise: Using r818x driver: - Getting data works as long as the load is low, high network load produces a system freeze. - Sending data (uploading) freezes the system - WEP key is useless, setting it freezes the system (this worked fine before) - -386 variant kernels allow safe uploading and downloading of data, however WEP still freezes the system and a kernel without NO_HZ is pretty useless on a laptop.
Using ndiswrapper net8180: - Getting data works fine, no matter the load. - Sending data doesn't work, transfers above some few Kbs get stalled forever. - WEP key is useless, it causes a partial freeze on the system that becomes a full freeze after some seconds - WPA state is unknown, but probably the same as WEP Doing a summary of both lists: - Getting data always work (ndis, r8180-386) as long as you don't put the card to high load (like torrents), a high load can take you to a freeze (r8180). - Sending data either freezes (r8180) the system or doesn't work (ndis). - WEP is always useless. - Using a -386 kernel allows you to safely send and receive data (r8180), without freezes. However you are not able to use WEP anyway. ndiswrapper always stalles. I add myself to the begging to get this fixed somehow. -- r818x driver freezes randomly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/31857 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
