Comment 2 for bug 190298

Hi Milo,

How comfortable would you be compiling and booting your own kernel? I've got a wiki page with instructions that may help a little: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild

The reason I ask is that I was glancing through the kernel changelog descriptions, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/ , and it looks like starting with the 2.6.24-4.6 kernel the CONFIG_B43LEGACY kernel config option was enabled whereas it was previously disabled. It would seem that this might be related to the issue you began seeing as of 2.6.24-4 . So I'm curious if you would be willing to build the Ubuntu kernel but disable this kernel config option and then retest. I can help you with building and booting your own kernel if the wiki isn't clear. The Ubuntu git kernel tree can be cloned from: git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-hardy.git Hope that helps. Thanks.
