1) Wireless WLAN lockup- chipset-ATI RS485MC/SB460
WLAN-MSI(RAL) MS-6877 802.11g Mini PCI
2) GQ (Frys brand)
3) NX-L515 Laptop (AMD Sempron 3200+)
4) Wireless locks up system , particularly when attempting network gui file transfer. At lockup, the Numberpad lock light flashes
and all becomes locked; hard power boot is the only way to recover.

(NOTE)-USB Wireless dongle (AWL...standard) confirms the issue
as a malfunction of the onboard WLAN.

My machine is running Ubuntu 7.10 64bit on AMD X2, 2Gb RAM, LG L204WT widescreen monitor over DVI, 1680x1050 native

Problem is AGP Sapphire x1950 Pro - getting black screen after login if I use any driver other than Vesa

Hardy heron, same card, different monitor, same problem. System only works with vesa driver.

The motherboard Asus M3N78-EH works except for the onboard ehternet(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ta/+bug/231162) and SATA(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ux/+bug/231159). I also couldn't get PCI ethernet cards to work, but they were very old and it could be their fault, but I'm not sure. When you try to boot your system with a SATA harddisk connected ata will get a 'qc timeout' and can't IDENTIFY it.

SiS M671 Mirage 3

1. Ubuntu 8.04 64bit needed to be installed with options "noapic nolapic acpi=off vga=791", needs to be booted with "noapic acpi=off apm=power_off".
2. OpenGL (3D) graphics driver unavailable (no Compiz)
3. With self-compiled 2D driver from Chen Chao Yu at SiS (source under GPL license) videos don't play in full-screen, at boot-up the screen's brightness fades from faint to gleaming, showing a turquoise-grayish pale pattern with a cyan rectangle on the left bottom corner of the screen.
4. CPU load spikes extremely high when doing nothing special but only moving windows.
5. Sound is very soft; is normal when booting with pci=bios_irq but internet connection will fail and system will run very slowly with this option enabled.
6. on boot-up, when attempting to reconfigure xserver and when executing displayconfig-gtk the following error occurs:

   FATAL: Error inserting battery (/lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/kernel/drivers/acpi/battery.ko): No such device

Any Broadcom wireless (not supported by Vendor at all)

Any HP laptop based on AMD + NVidia + Broadcom wireless
(has glitchy ACPI, will not boot Ubuntu right out the box, needs some work around)

Guys, don't buy any hardware from Vendors who officially do not support Open Source.

Get Intel Wireless Card for $30 and replace it (it worked for me )
