2006-04-01 13:34:34 Kaglan description [Dapper, update/dist-upgraded to repositories as of March 31st 2006] Earlier version of Dapper (a week or so) did not exhibit this problem. Had to reinstall flight five from CD. Installer correctly recognized and configured wireless card, and pulled packages (I think) from the Internet. Also tried installing Breezy, and dist-upgrading to dapper. Following problem appears after both upgrade-to-dapper approaches: During boot, system hangs at "Loading hardware drivers." Eventually times out and continues to hang at "Configuring the network...". System completes booting, but the wireless card seems not to be recognized. (it appears in lshw, bound to the hostap driver, but is labeled disabled). Errors during safe mode boot talk about wifi0: failing at everything it tries to do. Wpa supplicant (scrolls by quickly in the boot process) returns an exit code 1. Computer: Toshiba Satellite 2435. Kernel 2.6.15-19-686 Wireless Card: (returned by cardctl ident) Toshiba, version 01.01, manfid 0x0156, 0x0002, function 6 [Dapper, update/dist-upgraded to repositories as of March 31st 2006] This problem appeared only within the last couple weeks of upgrades. I was able to reproduce it with a clean install of flight six. During boot, system hangs at "Loading hardware drivers." Eventually the error times out and boot continues, only to hang at "Configuring the network...". After a few minutes, the system completes booting, but the wireless card seems not to be recognized.

2006-05-03 18:45:43 Scott James Remnant (Canonical) udev: status Confirmed Rejected
2006-05-03 18:45:43 Scott James Remnant (Canonical) udev: statusexplanation Ok, marking this as Rejected as you added those hdparm lines yourself. If the documentation that told you to do that was from an Ubuntu source, please ask the author to remove it; on Ubuntu dma is enabled automatically if it's possible -- forcing it to be enabled can cause problems. The reason you were having problems is due to hdparm being unable to enable dma itself, which isn't needed because it was already enabled anyway.
