BT5 gnome 64bit reboots when conecting to wifi

ubuntu works out of the box in this pc

PC Specs: HP p6720F , http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...ot_search#N461

wifi card : Ralink 802.11 Wireless b/g/n PCI-E Mini card

when i go to wincd network manager i can see the wireless networks , i see my home AP ok i go to configure and enter my Key then i hit connect and the pc shuts down
any ideas on this?

i have also tried the 32bit distro and same problem

hmmm I know the x64 has a few bugs and it occasionally shut down on me not just with wifi
the x86 runs smooth no problems weird

run this command

Code:

---

/etc/init.d/wicd start

---

you say wincd are you using wicd maybe :) try not to hit enter use the mouse I want to check something

try your lan and wireless

there may be something about the pci-e card

i notice am getting the error with the wicd dbus

Hey m8, i had kind of the same issue, my bt5 just hanged up in there. I am not using the same card as you but, i was able to correct my issue like this:

- Head to http://wireless.kernel.org/ and download the "compat-wireless-2.6.39-rc6-1.tar.bz2"

Code:

---

tar -xf /path/to/compat-wireless-driver.tar.bz2
cd /path/to/compat-wireless-driver-folder
./scripts/driver-select <driver-name>
make
make install
make wlunload
modprobe <driver>

I hope it helps.
