I am sorry, but this item cannot be tested in live environment, because
the working driver for the Atmel chipset in Dapper is the one that I
downloaded from berlios.de and compiled against 2.6.15 kernel in
Dapper. The same driver could not be compiled straightforwardly in
Feisty; I however compiled it after some hacking, but it didn't work and
had the same keyboard freezing as the precompiled package.
Of course I can't compile it from the live cd !!!

What I can do is just to try if the Gutsy live CD has a working
pre-compiled driver for Atmel USB WiFI NIC.
I will try to download Gutsy asap.

Best regards
Giorgio
