Ubuntu Feisty madwifi modprobe freeze
I have a dual boot OS/X and Feisty on my Macbook C2D. Everything was working perfectly up until the point where I needed to enable wireless networking in Linux (makes it easier to follow lectures in class, etc.)
So I read up on the latest madwifi drivers, see that they finally support the new Atheros chips in the C2D, I download the latest snapshot, install it, and everything seems to be running smoothly. I sudo modprobe ath_pci after installing, and the entire system freezes. I wait about 10 minutes, and then hard reboot the computer. But now, Ubuntu won't even boot. It gets about 1/6 of the way through the status bar, and then stops. This has happened twice already, and I've had to reinstall Ubuntu both times.
What could be causing this freeze?
