Bug Description

The version is 7.04 Beta

Hi, I have just installed 7.04. I installed ndiswrapper, ndisgtk, and my windows drivers. I can see the wireless networks to connect to, but after I type in my password and it tries to connect for a little bit, my caps lock and scroll lock keys start flashing and the whole thing hangs. Any thoughts?

Wireless card is Linksys wpc300n
ndiswrapper v. 1.9
driver Lsbcmnds.inf
and this is all on a brand spanking new install of 7.04 (with updates)

I really hope Ubuntu will become a viable OS for normal people, and getting wireless to work without any hassle whatsoever should be right up there.

Thanks a lot for all your hard work!

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description doesn't yet have enough information.
Please include the following additional information, if you have not already done so (please pay attention to lspci's additional options), as required by the Ubuntu Kernel Team:
1. Please include the output of the command 'uname -a' in your next response. It should be one, long line of text which includes the exact kernel version you're running, as well as the CPU architecture.
2. Please run the command 'dmesg > dmesg.log' and attach the resulting file 'dmesg.log' to this bug report.
3. Please run the command 'sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log' and attach the resulting file 'lspci-vvnn.log' to this bug report.
For your reference, the full description of procedures for kernel-related bug reports is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies . Thanks in advance!

Your dmesg.log file is actually the output of uname. Could you please readd it? Could you please also add the specific version of ndiswrapper you are using? You can check with 'dpkg -l ndiswrapper-common'. Thanks again.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Now that the final version of Feisty Fawn is available we were wondering if this issue still exists. Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the delayed reply. I have not encountered the problem after
installing the final version of Feisty Fawn. Thank you for your tireless
efforts.
