Ubiquiti SRX problems

**Kungen** · 01-09-2008, 05:19 PM

NOTE: I have tested the most information about how to start, disconnect etc with an atheros card but i still have problem.

Computer: HP Pavillion 9000
Card: Ubiquiti SRX Express card 34

I have following problem:

1. I put the Backtrack 3 LiveCD/xploitz USB fix and choose the KDE.
2. It starts to boot up with alot of text you know but after a while after it has loaded som "HAL" something i got this error:

Bank 0: b20000400000800
Bank 5: b200121020080400
Kernel panic - not syncing: CPU context corrupt

3.And i have to restart the computer.

But there is one way to avoid it, just some seconds before that sequens i pull out my Ubiquiti SRX from the Express card slot and then re-insert it --> KDE boots up fine and i reach the desktop.

Then i start the wireless assistent to connect to my essid "dlink", but i only got Connection failed.

I know its not any help, but my SRX works fine on bt3. Dell Vostro 1500

I'm sitting at a coffee shop using it right now...

not using the live cd however, using HD install

bumpbump...

**imported_spankdidly** · 01-10-2008, 07:53 PM

bumpbump? Is that a song? Give it some time. Maybe people don't know? I dont have an express card because they weren't working under linux. So probably not a lot of people have them ATM.

If you are THAT desperate, then you will either learn to code drivers for your card, or go buy another card. Otherwise, it's patience!
