tim - found the culprit: in our sitewide installation scripts (for the whole university) we were installing amd64-microcode package which uninstalls the linux-firmware. that's why things were working until first update performed by the scripts. i checked amd64-microcode and i don't see why would it require to uninstall linux-firmware.
workaround is thus very simple: as you sugest, the linux-firmware should be installed. close the bug? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1175837 Title: missing firmware for iwl3945 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1175837/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
