I'm getting the same message as Notch-1 after implementing the workaround:

Running depmod.

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I'm not sure if this means I did something wrong in implementing?

My wireless connection was also working before I implemented the workaround and now it's not (though Ubuntu is still reporting my drivers are installed) and I suspect this may have something to do with the inability to get this kernel upgrade.

I have been able to install packages to my Intrepid installation with a wired connection and they seem to be working fine (I installed Apache2, PHP, MySQL, and phpMyAdmin)

My flash drive installation is via Portable Linux so I have a GRUB menu. Install was done from a Hardy install using an Intrepid LiveCD for the image.
