Bug Description

Intel card/driver is completely missing from gutsy after upgrade from feisty (feisty to gutsy tribe 4). Used update-manager -d to upgrade. Maybe related to restricted drivers manager crashing. However, it does not appear in software repositories either.

Nvidia did not work after upgrade, but I was able to force them by removing those drivers and reinstalling them.

I resolved this .... sort of. When Gutsy upgraded it put the *-386 branded kernel as the default. Switching to the *-generic kernel allowed restricted manager to run w/o crashing. This was on a Dell Latitude D820.

Same issue going to Tribe-5 today. The 386 kernel was no good and I had to roll to the generic kernel. This time it required less intervention on my part. All I needed to do was install restricted manager generic package for the kernel.

I had the same issue when upgrading from 2.6.20-15-lowlatency, no ipw3945 drivers or in general package "linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-12-generic" had not been installed.

Don't know if this is expected, but I even had to invoke depmod -a to get the driver loaded.
