Wireless network not working, System lock-ups with Intel 4965 wireless

[Kris]

Installed 9.04 on this Dell D430 laptop. This is the same problem as I had with the 8.10 release and didn't have a solution to.

System lock-ups with Intel 4965 wireless: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810#System%20lock-ups%20with%20Intel%204965%20wireless

With the previous version I installed linux-backports-modules-intrepid package but it didn't fix it. I tried the same with the 9.04 version, and it didn't work either.

Did you have this trouble with 8.04 too? I had daily kernel panics with this wireless chip and Hardy.

[Kris (thorleifsson)]

No I didn't install Ubuntu until 8.10.

Unfortunately it seems this bug is still an issue. Can you confirm this issue exists with the most recent Jaunty Jackalope 9.04 release - http://www.ubuntu.com/news/ubuntu-9.04-desktop .

Also, can you please try installing the linux-backports-modules-jaunty package. The linux-backports-modules-jaunty package contains and updated compat-wireless stack which may help. Be sure to reboot after installing this package in order to test. Please let us know your results.

If the issue remains even after installing and testing linux-backports-modules-jaunty, could you then please try the latest upstream compat-wireless stack. See http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download for more info. If the issue exists upstream, we'll want to work with the upstream developers to try to get this resolved. Also, after confirming the issue remains with the latest upstream compat-wireless stack, be sure to also run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux-image-2.6.28-11-generic <bug #>

Please let us know your results. Thanks.

As a second attempt to move exclusively to Ubuntu, I installed 10.04. This still seems to be a problem. Are there any new workarounds or suggestions how to make the wireless networking work with Intel 4965 wireless?

[Kris (thorleifsson)]

This still seems to be a problem with 10.04.

[Mackenzie Morgan (maco.m)]

Can you run the apport-collect command Jeremy gave earlier? Possibly you and
I have two different revisions of 4965, because I don't see this issue.

[Brad Figg (brad-figg)]

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. From a terminal window please run:

apport-collect 352484

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.
