Comment 21 for bug 268529

Ciao Lorenzo,

The question is not out of topic, the problem should be researched and
commented on the forum, since there are not many B202 owners yet, such
problems could halt the testing.

I know there are firmware problems with recent kernel versions on many
distributions, but they did not manifest on my hardware, at least not with
the early alpha 6. But it is possible the guilty kernel version was an
update that came after 18. September.

Somebody should check the the B202 chip and compare it to the list of
affected chips.
