Comment 21 for bug 801840

Using the old kernel I update now to oneric but the kernel panics still occur with the 3.00.14 (or was it 3.00.12?) kernel that came with this update. On top, networking seems to work no longer when you boot in oneric with an old kernel, it does not detect the connected network cable any longer. So there is no more convenient way to apply further updates when I use oneric with an old pre 2.6.38 kernel. The entry in blacklist.conf as suggested for a workaround is still there, but does not help at all on my machine. I doubt that the ene_ir module is connected to the problems Asus Z7S WS user face since it didn't help neither in natty nor in oneric. Of course it might be helpfull for other hardware but I doubt that it is at the hart of the problem since there is no difference if you blacklist it or not on my hardware.

That's it as far as I am concerned. Bye bye penguins, welcome beastie!
