I think you should just do a dist-upgrade for the entire system and you should
get it up and running.
sudo apt-get update && sudo aptitude full-Upgrade

Title:
[lucid lynx][dell-wifi] Wireless Disabled for iwl3945
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Hi All,
I have Dell Inspiron 1420 with BIOS version A10. I was using Ubuntu 9.04
64-bit and had no issue with Intel 3945ABG wireless card.
Recently, I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit (fresh install) and this
created the problem with wireless saying "Wireless disabled". I had the similar
problem with Ubuntu 9.10 therefore shifted back to 9.04.
After googling, found some similar issues which were telling to remove
network-manager and install wicd.
But still, WICD was not able to detect wireless and could able to scan
the network only when network-manager was also present. One more weird
thing was, wicd able to scan and detect wireless connections only when
I connected the system with eth0 cable. After detection, I could
unpluged the ethernet cable and start using wlan0 connection.
Also tried by doing:
sudo rmmod -f iwl3945
sudo modprobe iwl3945 disable_hw_scan=1
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1420053
But it also not worked for me.
After removing "dell-laptop" module and blacklisting the same,
network-manager starts detecting the wireless connections. wicd also
able to detect but sometimes starts asking authentication for startup
(don't know why). My system is running with default kernel (ubuntu
2.6.32-21-generic) came with ubuntu 10.04.
Could you please let me know, is there any patch available for this
issue for ubuntu 10.04. Also, what could be the side-effects of
removing dell-laptop module.
Thanks.
