Comment 251 for bug 134660

With the 2.6.24-16 kernel, I no longer need to change the setup of the wireless network (DHCP to static IP or vice versa) before my card will work. (See comment 140, 142 and 143 above.)

Unfortunately, it looks like there's a wireless network related bug in 2.6.24.* that frequently causes a kernel panic (= system lockup) here.

Does anyone else get this?

Annoyingly using ndiswrapper isn't an option for me, because the card maker only supplies a Windows .exe file which isn't an archive format 7zip knows about, not .inf files.
