Hi,

Recently I got this great device : 
http://www.interprojekt.com.pl/minitar-mwguha-wireless-adapter-80211bg-54mbps-p-318.html

As the site says, this device is fully compatible with Linux kernel v2.6.6 and after. But apparently, network-manager crash my whole system when I'm connect on my personal wireless network. I use wpa encryption.

The problem is network manager because I can use wpa supplicant to connect my network, and nothings goes wrong.

However, I am able to make network manager works well but it is not very practical. Three ways :
* plug the wireless device before starting computer
* or start computer without this device, kill network manager ( if it is launch ) , launch nm-applet on terminal and plug ONE time the device. No remove after and no plug in after

I remove the old configurations, I purge network manager and reinstall it again...Same issue.

Otherwise, computer is down, no way to switch to console mode , gdm is completely out, no response ...

[   14.249043] usb 1-2: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2
[   14.381835] phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'pid'
[   14.458081] zd1211rw 1-2:1.0: phy0
[   14.458117] usbcore: registered new interface driver zd1211rw
[   14.466144] udev: renamed network interface wlan0 to wlan1

So I want to put useful log here, what is the good way ?

I'm on Ubuntu Jaunty 
Linux 2.6.28-13-generic
network-manager 0.7.1~rc4.1.cf

Thanks for help.

Hi, 

After some tests, I have more information about my problem.
As I said this is very annoying because my wireless device is able to "kernel panicked" when I plug in before restarting my computer and I don't understand why. Maybe kernel scan device, give power, and had an unexpected response, I don't know.

The second problem is to crash my ubuntu.
To reproduce this bug, I need to plug this device, give my wap encryption key, and just when I got the connection established pop up, gnome-pannel freeze or disappear, I cannot move to console mode...

So I think there is enough informations. I attached some log file, syslog lscpi, kernel version...

Thanks.

/var/log/messages shows this is a kernel panic; it's likely a bug in the kernel driver for your wireless device.  Please re-file with launchpad against the Ubuntu kernel with details of your hardware.  Thanks!
