Sorry, not very correct to say that p80211 was replaced by ieee80211. Now, back in 2.16.17-9-generic, I see that both ieee80211 and p80211 are loaded, the latter built by myself.
It seems rather that p80211 is missing from 2.6.17-10. -- prism2 modules won't build on 2.6.17 https://launchpad.net/bugs/53748 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
