Public bug reported: After update to Kernel 2.6.30-10-generic (AMD_64), I don't know what package caused this - I guess something with udev - no wlan interfaces are created.
I wrote some lines of code to make visible how it looks under the old Kernel where the interfaces are still created and how it looks now: here the code: #!/bin/bash wlandevice="Wireless WiFi Link 5100" echo This shows the hal entries for \"$wlandevice\" device: echo echo -n "Used Kernel (uname -rvm): " uname -rvm echo find_dev_id () { pci_slot=`lspci -mm|grep -F \""$*"\"|sed -e "s/\( \)\{1\}.*$//"` echo "`lspci -s $pci_slot -n|\ sed -e "s/^$pci_slot\( \)\{1\}\([0-9a-f]\)\{4\}:\( \)\{1\}/pci_/"\ -e "y/:/_/" -e "s/\( \)\{1\}(rev.*$//"`" } wlancard=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/`find_dev_id $wlandevice` echo parent-device: echo ============== echo lshal -u $wlancard echo echo \'child\'-devices: echo ================ for udi in `hal-find-by-property --key info.parent --string $wlancard`; do echo lshal -u $udi done # end of code Here the two outputs: 1.)
