Comment 14 for bug 573273

So, it's trying to download something when you don't have an internet connection.

I've decided to take a new angle on this. No matter how old rndis_wlan is, it should work, and it might actually be the only thing that will work. It's a bug, and it's affecting someone else.

Firstly, just to be safe, could you:

sudo insmod rndis_wlan

Then, reboot.

Please could you attach the following things as separate text files, copy and pasted out of terminal?

uname -a and save this as uname-a.log

cat /proc/version_signature and save as proc_version_signature.log

sudo lspci -vvnn and save as lspci-vvnn.log (two vs, not a w)

dmesg and save as dmesg.log

I'm going to copy your lsusb into a text file and attach it to save you a little bit of time. Then, based on the fact that no solution is apparent, someone else is apparently having this issue and there's enough debug information, it can be stepped up to confirmed and the kernel team can look at it. In order to help the bug report, it would also be good if you could connect via ethernet and download the latest development kernel so that someone from bug control can set the status to triaged. Obviously that mightn't be possible, and thank you for going through all of this to make a complete bug!
