Bug Description

Wen booting with the ethernet cable un-plugged, Mint 11 and 12, Ubuntu 11.10, fedora 16 freeze just before the login stage. The boot fine when the ethernet cable is plugged.

This is due to the atheros driver (ath9k module) ?

Here is the work-around :

 edit as root /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and add the follwing line

blacklist atl1c

then update the init as root

update-initramfs -u

reboot and the wireless connection now works and does not freezes the system at login
