What is CRDA ? I will check logs. In the meantime, I succeeded to install newest Ubuntu with WiFi card switched off in BIOS. I found this "LiveCD freezing" problem on another forum and the solution was exactly to unplug the card. So now I can make experiments on the latest linux release as well. However, I don't know where to start after I enable the card in BIOS...

What older firmware do you recommend me and where can I get it ?
