They want us to go away, When Linux goes wrong.

Linux users not responsive to problem that is a compleat flaw with the system itself.


Linux help in the community has usually been alright. Unless, you find a serious flaw with the distrobution or maybe even the Kernel itself. Then, you are disregarded as a lunatic.

Some information. I have a avertec 2100 laptop. It has an amd turion.

In short, when you go to the network and hit properties for the wireless card the entire system stops working. Also, anytime you try to access it causes the system to crash. NO THIS CAN NOT BE FIXED. I have been told to switch to a i386 kernel and then they system may not crash the way it does. Think it's just me?
Think again.

Multiple sources will be available under this post.


WAIT before you stop reading you have to understand that this is not anything like you may have heard. I finally explained it to someone how this works and he told me I needed to file a bug report and that they would need to check it out that way. There is no way to make it work correctly on the amd64 kernal. But here is the twist, I asked for someone to please refer me to a card that works correctly. They told me to buy the same card that I had. Who is they? over 20 people located on the #linux chanel on frenode. Note, there were over 200 people there to check what they said. Ubuntu form people just had no idea what I was talking about.

This is not exclusive. I can prove that the entire 64 bit kernel is flawed in this same way under the official supported packages. If you want I'll refer you to a few people that been shown either no support, or totally baffled others.

Why haven't I submitted a bug report you ask? Because, I have been abused by the Linux community the very same people that I have supported for free so much on Irc and many other channels. The real reason is, does it matter that some people have unsolvable problems? Do they care to fix their product. To me, they disregarded everything I had to say as a small problem.

I hope so, but after what I went through I'm not holding my breath.
