Public bug reported:
The hardware is a Dell inspiron 6400 that came with Linux preinstalled. I had a
7.10 running. The wlan worked.
After updating to 8.04 wlan doesn't work any more. After wrestling with all
kind of configurations and packages I gave up and reinstalled 8.04. And wow it
does work again. Then I installed the lates updates and they broke the wlan
again. The updates leave the old kernel 2.6.24.16 which works and the new
kernel 2.6.24.19 which is broken.
I don't know what they did between the releases but it breaks the wlan support
on my notebook. If you have the same notebook ane experience similar problems,
try the older kernel.
