my config file for 2.6.19.1
I don't think this will be of use to you but... just in case...
correction: Distribution: Ubuntu 6.06.1 up-to-date all that information and I forgot to give info on laptop model: HP Pavilion zv5120us laptop Is this issue still present with kernel 2.6.20? A BCM4306 should have worked with 2.6.19.1. For easing our efforts in debugging, please turn on the DEBUG option for both IEEE80211SOFTMAC CONFIG_IEEE80211_SOFTMAC=m # CONFIG_IEEE80211_SOFTMAC_DEBUG is not set CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT=y and CONFIG_BCM43XX=m # CONFIG_BCM43XX_DEBUG is not set CONFIG_BCM43XX_DMA=y Without debug information for the bcm43xx, we don't know any of the details of your card, which are very important. I would also like to see the output of 'iwconfig eth1' when you are trying to scan. Having to boot to Windows to fix some situations sounds as if there is a firmware problem. With debugging turned on, we will get important information about that as well. > I would also like to see the output of
I truly appreciate your help.
After enabling debugging that you mentioned, are there any specific files that
you would like me to upload to the bug? thanks.
I need the new version of dmesg and the output of 'iwconfig eth1', or whatever your wireless interface is called. sorry, can't try because can't boot with 2.6.20-1 I bump into a brick wall of "ERROR, PORTS ALREADY IN USE" for my hda hard disk. How did you generate the .config for 2.6.20? You should have done a 'make oldconfig' while running your 2.6.19.1 system. You shold look for differences between the 2.6.19 and 2.6.20 versions of .config, particularly in the disk section. Created attachment 10475 [details] config for 2.6.20-1 (brick wall) I looked at the difference but I cannot see anything (probably bc I have no idea where to look for). I made sure I had support for each hardware piece I had. I'm attaching it here in case you'd wanna see... I found that these people[1] had the same issue and though it might be related to an Ubuntu bug[2] but I've no idea... [1] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=321959 [2] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/76872 From the second thread, it seems as if initramfs-tools. One thing that seems to work is to add add "ide0=noprobe ide1=noprobe" to your kernel command-line at the GRUB screen. > add "ide0=noprobe ide1=noprobe"
I tried that one too, but it didn't help either... frustrating indeed
I posted there, maybe someone there can help. I'll see. I'll also try asking for
a backport fix from Ubuntu.
Any updates on this problem? tu, have you tried newer kernels? Thanks. Closing for no recent activity. Please reopen if problem confirmed with latest kernel. |
