Bug Description

I just switched to gutsy (knowing what I do) and I lost WiFi.

I found similar bugs for older kernels reporting missing files in the firmware directory. Here is a similar report:

I'll try to install the firmware manually meanwhile.

Ben Collins (ben-collins) wrote :

You should install and upgrade linux-image-generic at least, or linux-generic, in order to ensure that you have all packages needed for the kernel.

In this case, it looks like you only have linux-image-2.6.22-5-generic and linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-5-generic. The package you are missing is linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-5-generic, which would get installed if you install the linux-generic or linux-image-generic meta packages from gutsy.

Changed in linux-source-2.6.22:
