A follow-up comment. For the past 3 months I was using a custom kernel (now based on 3.3.7 mainline kernel) and wifi was working. Today for project that I needed, I removed this custom kernel and rebooted to the official ubuntu kernel (3.2.0.29.46 witch is based on 3.2.24 mainline kernel). This is when I realized that wirless was not working.
To investigate why it stopped working, I downloaded the source kernel package for 3.2.0.29.46 (the latest) and checked if the modules for Intel Corporation Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300 are disabled or not. Oddly as you can see from the screenshot I have found them enabled even if it doesn't work on that kernel. Then I downloaded again and installed the custom kernel package (3.3.7) that I was using for the past 3 months and after rebooting, wifi was working. Just for the sake of testing, I rebooted again to the official kernel (without removing the 3.3.7 custom kernel) and oddly the wifi started to work. I suppose that there must be a configuration file that has changed with the installation of the newer (custom) kernel and made it possible to wirk the wifi with the official (old) kernel ** Attachment added: "Intel-Ultimate-N-WiFi-Link-5300-in-kernel" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/997883/+attachment/3257052/+files/intelwirless.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/997883 Title: Intel WiFi Link 5300 doesn't work with kernel 3.2.0.24 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/997883/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
