I downloaded Hardy Alpha2 and the live cd refused to work with my computer. It would get stuck randomly at the boot sequence and refuse to start X. I'll wait until Alpha3.
I think however I know why my card refused to work with the gutsy livecd. The reason is that iwconfig and network manager will not work with the prism2_usb drivers unless the linux-wlan-ng package is installed and running. Once that package is installed and the computer is rebooted (the package adds something to the boot sequence), the card works fine. Therefore a solution to this problem is that the livecd should be built with the linux-wlan-ng package installed. It is a small package and I don't think it will do anything major to the livecd. I will try this out on my gutsy install the moment I can access it. -- USB Wlan device not detected (Prism2 chipset) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173790 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
