The Jaunty Jump: Wireless
Upgrading from Ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04 completely broke my wireless. It doesn’t show under ifconfig. I can’t bring the interface up either. Cos it’s not there at all.
I tried looking in System>Administration>Hardware Drivers but there was no entry for wireless there either.
I could try reinstalling the proprietary drivers. Maybe the kernel change broke the link to hardware. But to be frank, I can’t be bothered. If I have to keep compiling things from source then I might as well use Gentoo, or Arch which has a driver for me in their <u>AUR repo</u> (which is redundant, I know).
