See below. > I tried twice with latest Ubuntu 8.10 (updated yesterday) and kernel > oopsed both time for me: So it did for me. But the at76_usb that comes with Ubuntu 8.10 is actually a (very old) 0.14beta1 version. Try $ strings /lib/modules/`uname \\ -r`/kernel/ubuntu/misc/wireless/at76/at76_usb.ko | egrep \'0.1[47]\' Ad 1: It seems like Ubuntu ships an outdated version of the old stand-alone driver. Ad 2: I\'ve found a work-around (I\'ve tried this earlier but it did not work for any reason): adapting and compiling the 0.17 version of the old stand-alone driver (http://developer.berlios.de/projects/at76c503a/) -> It works again. Since this is not the perfect solution I would like to find out how to enable the at76 driver from the staging tree and then vote for doing the same in the Ubuntu kernel package. Well, how do I enable this driver anyway? Or what do you think we should do?
