I have a Latitude D610 and have just installed Ubuntu 9.04 on it. However, it only recognizes the wireless card intermittently upon boot up.
The card is an Intel Pro/Wireless 2915ABG, which I understand Jaunty has native drivers for. When it works, it works great! But when it doesn't...
I'm assuming the problem is related to a message at boot up. The occasions when the wireless card DOESN'T work are preceded by a message referring to a PCI hardware address which reads in part "...unknown header type 7f, ignoring device." The wireless card is a mini-PCI version. So I'm thinking the issue is somehow tied to this.
BUT, I can't figure out how to overcome it.
No matter whether the wireless connection itself is working or not, when I type "lshw -C network" the hardware is always recognized as a network controller present on the system.
I'm a new forum member, so hopefully this will provide the information folks need to at least point me in the right direction for a solution. Many thanks for any and all thoughts.
