It can also happen the other way around, so that it works only for -generic, but not -386, see bug 158858.
It appears the problem is the missing firmware. However, I cannot confirm this with current Hardy: $ find /lib/firmware/2.6.24-11-386 /lib/firmware/2.6.24-11-generic -name ipw2200\* /lib/firmware/2.6.24-11-386/ipw2200-bss.fw /lib/firmware/2.6.24-11-386/ipw2200-sniffer.fw /lib/firmware/2.6.24-11-386/ipw2200-ibss.fw /lib/firmware/2.6.24-11-generic/ipw2200-bss.fw /lib/firmware/2.6.24-11-generic/ipw2200-sniffer.fw /lib/firmware/2.6.24-11-generic/ipw2200-ibss.fw Is there anything that removes the files? (I've just installed linux- ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-11-386 to see if there's a difference) So, SKAL, your issue _is_ related, of course. Sorry for the confusion. Please try "sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-ubuntu- modules-2.6.24-11-generic", the firmware files should be included there. -- ipw2200 driver fails to load firmware on linux-image-2.6.24-2-386 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/180544 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
