I installed the packages using "dpkg -i --force-depends packagename" as Andy suggested in #ubuntu-bugs. I have not installed the headers packages. My wireless card is unrecognized in the mainline kernels linked to above.
Here's the dmesg when booting one of those kernels (2.6.24.5). I made sure to ln -s to the /lib/firmware/2.6.24-22-generic directory, so there are /lib/firmware/2.6.24-02062404-generic, 2.6.24-02062405-generic , and 2.6.24-02062406-generic directories with the firmware, yet my wireless card still seems to be unrecognized. ** Attachment added: "dmesg-2.6.24.5" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/23087263/dmesg-2.6.24.5 -- iwl3945 cannot connect to hidden ssid WPA enterprise with Hardy 2.6.24-23 - Regression https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/327431 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
