Bug Description

With the older Kernels of Ubuntu 6.10, 7.04, 7.10, ndiswrapper wrapped the windows XP driver of the AVM FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick (2005) beautifully. Yet with Ubuntu 8.04 and the new Kernel no IP address is assigned anymore! For details see:
http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/FRITZ!WLAN_USB_Stick#getestete-Kombinationen

Will this bug be fixed?

This is bad, because AVM is a popular seller of German WLAN boxes/sticks:
http://www.avm.de/en/index.php3
 and many German users depend on the WLAN stick mentioned above. I own one, too, and would not like to buy the newest WLAN equipment, just to be able to run Hardy.

Nils Kassube's solution for Bug #200589: (fwlanusb crashes the system) does not work for me (as for others), since I have as only means to get to the Internet with Ubuntu, you guessed it, my Fritz!Stick.

Sadly, I (as other users) have to run the new Hardy with the old kernel 2.6.22-14 (which works with ndiswrapper), and have to be stuck with it (forever?).

Full with hope,

siggi

Just booted Ubuntu Intrepid beta LiveCD (32 bit) and...
...AVM Fritz!Stick WLAN USB (2005)/Ndiswrapper/wpa_supplicant yielded a terrific, WPA2 encrypted, connection to the internet!

Hopefully a stable version of Intrepid will come soon!

Very happy,

Hi Bryce,

I don't know whether this helps, but I just see that kernel 2.6.24-21 behaves as badly with WLAN as does kernel 2.6.24-19, in Hardy.

Thanks,

Siggi

This bug report was filed against an old version of Ubuntu.
Can you confirm whether this is still an issue in natty?

If you don't mind, it would be very helpful if you could update the bug
report in launchpad to 'Fix Released' if it is no longer an issue for
you, or if it is still occurring under natty, please tag the bug 'natty'
so it's easier for us to track.
