keyboard freezes

[Irisat]

Hello!
I have Mandriva2006 installed in my laptop Toshiba S1800-100.
I have tried to install the usb card wireless D-Link DWL-G122 B1.
While installing the driver for the card the command modprobe rt2570 did not work, so I changed the Makefile from usr/src/linux : in the line EXTRAVERSION = -12mdkcustom I put EXTRAVERSION = -12mdk.

Now when I start the system with the wireless card inside the usb port, the computer freezes. If I put the card into the usb port after starting the system, the card is recognized, but the keyboard freezes in about three minutes; the mouse works; the other usb port does not, when I tried to put there the memory stick it was not recognized.

Here is the message from the syslog file that I think corresponds to the moment of hanging up:

Sep 30 13:49:23 localhost kernel: hub 1-0:1.0: port 2 disabled by hub (EMI?), re-enabling...
Sep 30 13:49:23 localhost kernel: usb 1-2: USB disconnect, address 2

The memory stick alone works perfectly, without any problem.

I hope somebody can help me.
Thank you all in advance.
Irina

That is a known error, at least it happened to me as well when I tried a similar device.

That driver is not in the kernel, your vendor ships it even though it hasn't gone through peer review and can thus be expected to be substandard.. sorry

I could not install it. I wasted about 15 discs before I made 5 that could be used properly. And they were not the last ones! Some from the "first collection" and some from the last. I burnt them with Nero 6. For some of them I had to put "Disc-at-once". Others made with that option did not work. Some discs "wrong" by the test of media by Fedora were useful. Some of "good" were not useful.
After all that mass I found that Fedora lets you install only the standard set of modules. If you choose some additional modules, it crushes the installation.
Well, finally when I had it I did not have KDE. I can't work in Gnome. Maybe because nobody explained to me how. But it seems to me KDE more convenient.
I did not find the manner to put KDE on the computer, neither to make my wireless work, so, I passed to Mandriva. At least it has KDE.
