i've had a similar problem with an upgrade from 5.10 to 6.06 (breezy to dapper).
the orinoco module is getting loaded before the hostap modules. this, in turn, loads the orinoco_pci and hermes modules. as a result when hostap comes around and tries to load the firmware into my DLinkDWL520E1 pci card, it can't. to fix this i have added orinoco to the list in /etc/hotplug/blacklist.d /hostap-utils file. this file already had four modules in it, but did not have the plainly named orinoco: orinoco_plx orinoco_cs orinoco_pci hermes -- [dapper regression] hostap driver no longer properly blacklists orinoco https://launchpad.net/bugs/41652 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
