ndiswrapper causes freezes and kernel panic on 2.6.28

[verlol]

I am using a AVM Fritz USB wlan stick with ndiswrapper on jaunty (2.6.28). But when connecting manually to an network the x server freezes and i get an kernel panic after some time. Also when connected to an network ndiswrapper prevents the system from shutting down or restarting: the system freezes and nothing happens. When updating from 1.53 to 1.54, which ist not in the official package sources, the bug still exists.

I am having the same problem with Jaunty (amd64) and network-manager.

Problem is solved by using wicd instead of network-manager

verlol, the link you posted suggests this is a bug in the kernel, but if you say that wicd works when network-manager doesn't that sounds more like a bug in network-manager. If you can, please provide more information as to when this bug does and does not occur. Then, please reassign to the proper package.
