Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-restricted-modules-common
On a Lenovo Thinkpad T60, updating from Dapper to Edgy installs linux-
restricted-modules-common. This version of l-r-m does not have a working
ipw3945 module so it loads, but wireless does not work.
Manually installing linux-restricted-modules-generic and rebooting
successfully enabled wireless. This would be a real pain for someone who
didn't have wired network access as installing the correct version of
l-r-m would be impossible.
This is a serious regression that should be fixed.
