Having spent many unhappy hours trying to get Intrepid to work on my Laptop, I finally gave up, backed-up the important files and prepared to re-install Hardy on my Laptop. But before I did so, I thought I would do a clean install of Intrepid and see if it made a difference - it did. Everything now works! The Wireless works fine as does the sound. The only observation is that the WiFi reg domain is set to the US default and needs a syscntl change to set it to Europe (Why isn't this a locale setting?).
It seems that the problem is in the upgrade from Hardy to Intrepid and not Intrepid itself, and a clue to the reason may be found in another problem. I also use Bluetooth with my Nokia phone for mobile internet access. This worked fine after the upgrade from Hardy to Intrepid, but did not work on the Intrepid clean install. That is until I changed the OTT security policy to permit me to use a modem to access the internet. The permissions on pppd seemed to have changed to stop world execute - although on the upgrade version these permissions remained unchanged. My guess is that the upgrade problem is the policy manager. Many permissions have changed and these are not being correctly reflected in the upgrade. -- (Intrepid, Hardy) Intel 4965 wlan stops working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/179698 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
