I resolved this situation by locating the desired file 'iwlwifi-3945-1.ucode' in an older kernel's firmware folder: /lib/firmware/old_kernel_name/
I simply copied it into the /lib/firmware/2.6.27-7-generic/ folder and the message disappeared from dmesg. I don't recall where I initially got the microcode file from, but I think it was when I had wireless networking issues when upgrading to Hardy, which I eventually solved by compiling a newer kernel than Ubuntu offered. If anybody has a reliable download source for this firmware, that would greatly help this issue. Also, is there some configuration file that prompts Ubuntu to search for this firmware, which may not be common for all hardware? -- iwlwifi-3945-1.ucode firmware file req failed: Reason -2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/284225 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
