Comment 175 for bug 25931

I just ran into this problem after updating to hal 0.5.11~rc2-1ubuntu8 (which was supposed to fix this bug for some people if I got the discussion right) on my Samung R20 running Hardy. Neither the subsequent update to 0.5.11~rc2-1ubuntu8.1 nor the downgrade to 0.5.11~rc2-1ubuntu7 did help. After logging in with gdm I get the infamous "Failed to initialize HAL" message. Wifi isn't working at first but comes up after about 30 seconds.
