I've just ran into the same problem updating my Intrepid to latest kernel. I was using 2.6.27-7 for some time, and updating to latest 2.6.27- raised this problem after reboot.
The strange point is, now the only kernel that works is the old 2.6.24-21-generic: I also have 2.6.27-4, 2.6.27-6 and 2.6.27-7 installed and they don't work now. linux-restricted-modules-VERSION-generic is installed for each of these kernels. There does not appear to be any firmware for 2.6.27 kernel (did they use to be present ?!): $ find /lib/firmware/ -name *ipw2200* /lib/firmware/2.6.24-21-generic/ipw2200-bss.fw /lib/firmware/2.6.24-21-generic/ipw2200-sniffer.fw /lib/firmware/2.6.24-21-generic/ipw2200-ibss.fw Here's the relevant update log that broke WiFi support: linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic (2.6.27-7.10) to 2.6.27-7.11 linux-restricted-modules-2.6.27-7-generic (2.6.27-7.9) to 2.6.27-7.12 linux-restricted-modules-common (2.6.27-7.9) to 2.6.27-7.12 linux-restricted-modules-generic (2.6.27.7.8) to 2.6.27.7.9 -- Missing ipw2200 firmware breaks wireless after upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/268721 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
