["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

eviljoel, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please just make a comment to this.

If reproducible, as per http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/X79%20Extreme6/?cat=Download&os=BIOS an update is available for your BIOS (2.80). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  [ASRock X79 Extreme6] Booting fails with ASUS PCE-N10 wireless n PCIe
  adaptor.

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When booting off the live CD for ubuntu-12.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso,
  ubuntu-12.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso, ubuntu-13.04-desktop-amd64.iso and a
  desktop installation of Ubuntu 12.04.3 AMD64, the computer failed to
  start when initializing the cfg80211 module.  I know the wireless card
  is related to the failure because removing the card causes the machine
  to boot.  Also, when booting with the ignore_loglevel option, booting
  frequently fails near messages about the cfg80211 module.  I attached
  a screen shot of where the system halted when loading ubuntu-13.04
  -desktop-amd64.iso with the ingore_loglevel option enabled.

  I know this wireless card normally works on Precise because I used it
  on the same install with different hardware.

  The apport-collect is for my current Precise install obviously without
  the wireless adaptor.

  Other relevant hardware I have installed is an Nvidia 780 GTX.  My
  processor is a Intel i7 3930K - C2 Stepping.  My BIOS image is up to
  date.

  Let me know if you need more information.  Thanks.
