Lucid package linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic broken

Yes, if I boot from previous 2.6.32-27-generic I have wireless, if I boot from 2.6.32-28-generic I do not.

Absolutely unable to connect to any wireless and unable to install the package :

The hell...

If I didn't have my grub edited to allow me a choice between kernels I'd have been screwed by this bug. I wonder how many newbies got bit by this and just gave up?

 - Hello Ubuntu -
  where are the package candidates for linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic, linux-backports-modules-alsa-lucid-preempt, and linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-preempt ??

I have the same, stated above problem, with all of these, related to the 2.6.32.27.29 kernel update.
All 3 backports-modules packages remain uninstallable until the this package error gets resolved.

I have to use ping to my router to keep connection alive !!

linux-meta is correct in that that's the dependency we want for 10.04.2, but linux-backports-modules-2.6.32 doesn't seem to have been uploaded for the 2.6.32-28 ABI. Marking invalid for Natty but RC for the 10.04.2 point release.

It appears that this was built, but not copied out with the kernel. Investigating.

I fixed it by accepting proposed package. As proposed here :

linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic installed fine and my wifi problems are gone.

linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.34-2.6.32-28-generic appeared when I updated yesterday, so no packages are held back anymore. I've had no problem with wireless network today. I appreciate it, thank you.

I appreciate it to tactus, but the fact that this error even occurred is unacceptable, OK if one is testing a pre release, because that is the point of testing, but to happen to a LTS release, is the reason that Ubuntu will never ever compete with vastly more reliable commercial OS's, and that is a shame.

Well, apologies for the screw-up - we've been moving to a new process for doing kernel stable updates (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/StableReleaseCadence) and this was a teething problem for that process.
