Thanks. I moved the bcm* files from /lib/firmware to /lib/firmware/2.6.22-10-generic (the Gutsy kernel) and tried again with no effect. I then copied them to the Feisty directory, /lib/firmware/2.6.20-16-generic, and rebooted to that kernel. Also no effect: > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ uname -r > 2.6.20-16-generic > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls /lib/firmware > 2.6.20-15-generic 2.6.20-16-generic 2.6.22-10-generic > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls
