Public bug reported: I am using Ubuntu 8.10. I recently received a package update which included Kernel 2.6.27-14. After installing the updates and rebooting, the my wireless no longer connects. I am using the Grub boot utility and I can still boot up using the previous version of the kernel (2.6.27-11) and the wireless still works perfectly. I have since received a couple of updates hoping that would fix the issue, but no luck.
My wireless HW is AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter. I am including info about the packages and attaching the syslog from both boots (sorry they are both in one gigantic file, I can apparently only attach one). Please let me know any other info you might need. Thanks. BTW, here is the package info: ######################## jod...@jodpan-laptop:~/Desktop/Err$ apt-cache policy Package files: 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status release a=now 500 http://security.ubuntu.com intrepid-security/multiverse Packages release v=8.10,o=Ubuntu,a=intrepid-security,l=Ubuntu,c=multiverse origin security.ubuntu.com 500 http://security.ubuntu.com intrepid-security/universe Packages release v=8.10,o=Ubuntu,a=intrepid-security,l=Ubuntu,c=universe origin security.ubuntu.com 500 http://security.ubuntu.com intrepid-security/restricted Packages release v=8.10,o=Ubuntu,a=intrepid-security,l=Ubuntu,c=restricted origin security.ubuntu.com 500 http://security.ubuntu.com intrepid-security/main Packages release v=8.10,o=Ubuntu,a=intrepid-security,l=Ubuntu,c=main origin security.ubuntu.com 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid-backports/multiverse Packages release v=8.10,o=Ubuntu,a=intrepid-backports,l=Ubuntu,c=multiverse origin us.archive.ubuntu.com 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid-backports/universe Packages release v=8.10,o=Ubuntu,a=intrepid-backports,l=Ubuntu,c=universe origin us.archive.ubuntu.com 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid-backports/restricted Packages release v=8.10,o=Ubuntu,a=intrepid-backports,l=Ubuntu,c=restricted origin us.archive.ubuntu.com 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid-backports/main Packages release v=8.10,o=Ubuntu,a=intrepid-backports,l=Ubuntu,c=main origin us.archive.ubuntu.com 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid-updates/multiverse Packages release v=8.10,o=Ubuntu,a=intrepid-updates,l=Ubuntu,c=multiverse origin us.archive.ubuntu.com 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid-updates/universe Packages release v=8.10,o=Ubuntu,a=intrepid-updates,l=Ubuntu,c=universe origin us.archive.ubuntu.com 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid-updates/restricted Packages release v=8.10,o=Ubuntu,a=intrepid-updates,l=Ubuntu,c=restricted origin us.archive.ubuntu.com 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid-updates/main Packages release v=8.10,o=Ubuntu,a=intrepid-updates,l=Ubuntu,c=main origin us.archive.ubuntu.com 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/multiverse Packages release v=8.10,o=Ubuntu,a=intrepid,l=Ubuntu,c=multiverse origin us.archive.ubuntu.com 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/universe Packages release v=8.10,o=Ubuntu,a=intrepid,l=Ubuntu,c=universe origin us.archive.ubuntu.com 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/restricted Packages release v=8.10,o=Ubuntu,a=intrepid,l=Ubuntu,c=restricted origin us.archive.ubuntu.com 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages release v=8.10,o=Ubuntu,a=intrepid,l=Ubuntu,c=main origin us.archive.ubuntu.com Pinned packages: ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Intrepid - wireless no longer working after kernel update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/385906 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
