Comment 12 for bug 592745

I've also tried the newer version (v17) which still seems to crash. I saw somebody using ndiswrapper somewhere, I havn't tried that yet. Do you think theres any chance of making progress on this guy or should I relegate this netbook to being wireless-less for quiet a while ;(

What's funny is that when I first got this machine (~2months ago) it worked fine on wifi. There must have been some update lately which introduced the kernel call that triggers the driver bug (the same thing powertop seems to trigger) or maybe there was an updated kernel introduced which causes bad behavior.

Any ideas on how to get older lucid kernels to try (like, the one from launch day)?

I may also try fedora 13, just to see if maybe theres something ubuntu specific that breaks things.
