Hi,
I tried the last Ubuntu Live CD but my computer completely freezes because of the wifi.
I have 3 computers : archlinux, debian, fedora. I want to install Ubuntu on my Archlinux (main computer).
I bought this card twice : TP-LINK WN851ND (one for the main computer, one for the debian server). When it's a wired connection, no problem at all. The ath9k and others drivers are loaded, I can see them with lsmod.
When I connect to my network (Vodafone Box in Germany), the computer freezes. I can't do anything except hard reset it.
The wifi is WPA encrypted with TKIP/PSK... that's what I can see with iwlist wlan0 scanning from fedora, debian, arch but on my PlayStation 3, it found that my WiFi network is AES encrypted.
Anyway, I tried with no encryption at all but I still have the problem.
My laptop with Fedora works fine. My computer with Arch and future Ubuntu and my debian server don't.
I have the last kernel on ArchLinux, the kernel 2.6.32-5 on Debian but I tried compat wireless on ArchLinux and I still have the problem.
Since it's a freeze, I don't get any kernel debug messages and I can't find anything in /var/log. Honestly, I don't even know what to look for.
I tried the netconsole system debug but I can't get it to work. Everything looks connected but I don't receive any messages from my crashed computer.
Does anybody have an idea ?
Thanks.
