** Changed in: linux-backports-modules-2.6.32 (Ubuntu Lucid)
Status: Triaged => In Progress
** Description changed:
+ SRU Justification for Lucid for linux-backports-modules-2.6.32:
+
+ The change merely adds the 6050 iwlwifi firmware to the package. The
+ drivers already in the package should be sufficient to utilize the
+ firmware correctly. There is no regression potential because the file
+ did not exist before.

Wireless Controller: Intel WiMAX/WiFi Link 6050 series (Kernel module
iwlagn.ko)
Intel wireless controller can be detected, driver is loaded, but
clicking network manager shows no access point. Our office has at least
2 APs as I can see them using other systems. Installing linux-backports-
modules-karmic did not fix things, nor did installing the 2.6.33 kernel
from the PPA. Once I've installed either the backports or the new
kernel, there appears to be a missing microcode/firmware issue,
specifically for "iwlwiki-6050-4.ucode".
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot the system
2. Click network manager
3. Look for available AP for wireless connection
Expected result:
Available APs are listed, select the best one to make connection.
Actual result:
No AP can be seen.
