[TriLUG] latest ubuntu updates killed my wireless

[whitdoug at email.unc.edu]

generic is the kernel I am using...or at least if not now it was
changed without my knowing.  I know the rt kernel does not work with
my wireless.

There's a bunch of stuff on dmesg.  What exactly is useful?  I'll try
reverting some more stuff next time I get online with that machine,
because it appears I reverted the wrong thing and I have to redownload
to revert, it appears.  Gonna work on making that happen now.

-----------------------------------
What wireless card is it?  Does lsmod show the driver module loaded ?
Have you tried booting into another kernel, say like Generic?   It
sounds like a driver/kernel issue.
