** Description changed:
Testing on Compaq N410c and Dell Latitude D600 laptops - my wifi cards
Just Work on both in Edgy, but not in Feisty. The cards are a Belkin
F5D7010 (rt2500) and NetComm 54g (wg54t).
In both cases, the kernel detects the card okay and dhclient runs.
However, the card doesn't seem to pull an address and gives itself a
- 169.254 address. e.g., from ifconfig:
+ 169.254 address. e.g., from ifconfig (Belkin card on Dell):
