Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.15
Having updated my Ubuntu 6.06.1 kernel from version 2.6.15-27-amd64-generic to 2.6.15-27.50-amd64-generic on my ASUS A6KM laptop with a BCM4318 Broadcom Wi-Fi nic, I got problems with the computer was hanging in the boot process, when it loaded the driver for my Wi-Fi nic trough the ndiswrapper. I also have problems when I shutdown the computer; the screen goes black and the computer does not switch-off. I have been looking into the ndiewrapper problem and found out, when the ndiswrapper script call lsusb, this command hang, this is also confirmed when I execute the lsusb command alone.
An other new behaviour is; if I boot with my USB mouse it is detected, if I plug it in later it is not.
I do not know if it is related to bug #36583.
These behaviours was not present in the old kernel.
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
