You probably upgraded the kernel, which changes ABI every so often. With every new set of kernel and linux-restricted-modules packages, you will lose the manually installed firmware, third-party modules, etc.
I keep this open as a wishlist bug against l-r-m. It would be shiny if firmware could be moved over on package upgrades, since it is not ABI specific. Alternatively, firmware should be searched for in an ABI- independent path. ** Changed in: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22 (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: restricted-manager => linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22 Importance: Undecided => Wishlist Status: New => Confirmed ** Summary changed: - Upgrade to latest Gutsy Gibbon turned off Broadcom 43xx + Keep firmware on ABI bumps -- Keep firmware on ABI bumps https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/126184 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
