[Bug 227598] [NEW] Can't Reboot After Installing Wireless Driver

[tomzhi]

Public bug reported:

Hello.. I am running Acer Aspire 4715Z, with Atheros AR242x (I think it's also called 5006EG). I used Ndiswrapper to install it. The wireless works but everytime when I reboot my computer, it fails at the Acer Screen (where you press F2 to enter set up, so it's before the Grub menu) and sometimes gives me this message if I wait long enough:
PXE-E61: Media Test failure, check cable
PXE-MoF: Exiiting PXE rom
operating system not found

as soon as I uninstall the windows driver, the reboot works again.  Now
I have to shutdown my computer and turn on to reboot.

Also, I have helped my friend bought a similar laptop Acer Aspire 4720Z
and sucessfully installed ndiswrapper and wireless with no problem.

Please help

My Ubuntu is 8.04
