Sorry, this is not the same bug. This bug concerns the -386 kernels. I've always had complete success with the -generic ones (and have actually abandoned trying to use the -386 ones as they are probably slower than the -generic kernels if you're one faster hardware).
Anyway, I had the same trouble as you, the -13-generic kernel not allowing ipw3945 (or nvidia, for that matter) to work. This seems to have been caused by a missing linux package for the restricted drivers for the -13-generic kernel. I've just done a synaptic-update and the missing package has appeared and after installing and rebooting both the ipw3945 and nvidia drivers are working quite happily. As I've lost interest in getting the -13-386 kernel to run on the Dell D620 (I've realised that my other two machines are also running just the -generic kernel), suggest this bug-report is killed as "no fix". -- ipw3945 driver missing from non-generic kernel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147517 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
