Hi,
Since yesterday, after the latest kernel upgrade from 2.6.31-24 to -25, I have no wireless networking anymore :cry: . Now I have been left in the dark before by Ubuntu so I'm not saying I'm surprised here :roll: just glad there is always this marvellous community that has answers most of the time...
My wireless is a ZyXel ZyAIR G-100 PCMCIA card which worked out of the box on 9.10 but since Ubuntu 10.04 I had to install linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic which was actually a meta package depending on linux-backports-modules-wireless-2.6.32-24-generic
Along with the kernel update, linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic upgraded to version 2.6.32.25.27 but it currently (suddenly?) depends on linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.34-2.6.32-25-generic... (notice the 2 differences!)
The old linux-backports-modules-wireless is still installed but I guess the new linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless is being used now. I notice that there is a linux-backports-modules-wireless-2.6.35-lucid-generic available but it conflicts with linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic so I hesitate to install that one and loose my networking completely (I have no eth available, just wlan!) like I have had before...
DMESG when I boot with kernel 2.6.32-24 (and working wlan0):

Anybody an idea how to get my wireless card working again under 2.6.32-25 and up?
Thanks :)
