    Where can I find kernel 2.6.24-19?

    I no longer have kernel 2.6.24-19 on my recent Toshiba laptop and I would like to re-install it as it is the only one with which my Atheros AR5007 wireless card functioned at all. Originally I used that kernel successfully for Ubuntu 8.04 and now would like to use it in 8.10 Ibex.
    Where would I find it and how is it installed please.

    I'm very desperate to get my wireless network back up.

    Thanks,

    at the bottom of the page you will see Download linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic and a place to select i386 or x64. This will take you to a page where you select a mirror.

    http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy-upd....24-19-generic



    here is a link to the public Linux archive. If you keep scrolling down you will get to the 2.6.24-* I think you have to compile this one though.

    Thanks Duanedesign. Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately I don't see the kernel I was seeking; perhaps I have the numbers wrong. If I do get this right and I choose one, which version do I download? ".tar.sign" or "tar.gz"

    Thanks again

    I would go for the .deb off the Ubuntu site. I updated the first link, you might try that one again and make sure.
    here is a link straight to the mirrors (edit) this is 32 bit

    http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy-upd...neric/download

    make sure you keep another kernel installed so you can still boot up if something does not go right. I havent cleaned mine off in awhile and I have 3 kernels on mine

    Thanks. I downloaded 2.6.24-19 and at least the card sees the network now, or vice versa, but no connection yet. I'll persevere.
    I have the kernels which came with U 8.10 when I downloaded it. I have seen that the new kernels incorporate "ath5k" which seems a combination of Madwifi and some other which I forget. I would like to get the wireless going eventually with the new system.
    You have been a great help, thanks
