Public bug reported:

After updating Hardy Heron Alpha 5 I found that the Linux restricted hardware 
drivers were suddenly no longer available.
Somehow, these drivers were automatically uninstalled.

Solution:

Reboot, press Escape when the Ubuntu menu appears, then select the
"generic" kernel (instead of the "386" kernel) and continue.

Once you're in Ubuntu, load the Synaptic Packet Manager and install the 
"linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-8-386".
After installation, reboot normally and you'll find the restricted drivers 
available, again, once you're back in Ubuntu.

Cheers.
