Comment 47 for bug 48263

I have a similar problem with my desktop computer, I have a VIA VT6102 Ethernet card installed.

It worked fine with my first ever install of linux - Ubuntu Dapper. Worked fine - as in connecting to the net through my Linksys WAG54G ver.2 router.

However, when I tried to install a USB2 WUSB54G wireless -G Adaptor and tried to configure it / activate it = freeze. Also had difficulty switching from eth0.

If you want me to provide further information you will have to tell me exactly what to type - also I would like to know how to add the acpi=noirq option - is this my best choice?
