This is directly caused by having linux-backports-modules-hardy (and it's dependencies) installed. This is the case out of the Dell factory image.
The offending module is ieee80211_crypt. To work around the scenario, you need to follow the following steps: 1) sudo apt-get remove linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-21-generic 2) sudo rmmod ieee80211_crypt 3) sudo modprobe wl It should work properly going forward then, but this bug needs to be fixed before lrm is released from proposed. ** Changed in: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24 (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Tim Gardner (timg-tpi) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: dell Importance: Undecided => High Status: New => Confirmed -- FATAL: Error inserting wl (/lib/modules/2.6.24-21-generic/volatile/wl.ko): Unknown symbol in module https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/271191 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
