Public bug reported:
My laptop is a Dell D620 with an Intel 3945 wireless networking adaptor.
I've been using Ubuntu 07.04 with no problems.
I performed an upgrade to 07.10 beta and (as of 10 minutes ago) all the
latest updates.
If I boot into the (default) 2.6.22-12-386 kernel, my wireless hardware
is not seen. Doing an lsmod does not list the ipw3945 driver as being
loaded and doing a modprobe shows the driver to be absent.
Booting into the 2.6.22-12-generic kernel fixes everything.

Now, a search on which package supplies the ipw3945.ko module:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/lib/modules# dpkg -S
/lib/modules/2.6.22-12-generic/ubuntu/wireless/ipw3945/ipw3945.ko
linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-12-generic:
/lib/modules/2.6.22-12-generic/ubuntu/wireless/ipw3945/ipw3945.ko
After the upgrade, I appear to have linux-ubuntu-
modules-2.6.22-12-generic installed but not the equivalent one for the
-386 kernel.
Do I just want to go through all of the installed -generic packages and
install the equivalent -386 ones?
Or, I notice that I have the linux-image-generic (meta) package
installed, should I just install the linux-image-386 one as well?
How come the upgrade to Gutsy did not do this for me?
