Thinkpad R61i wireless-card not recognized after 9.10 upgrade.

[p0cky84]

Firstly, I must declare that I'm pretty sleepy... so be warned; there will be typos.

I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) from 9.04 (Jaunty).
Now, it seems my Thinkpad (model R61i) won't recognize my wireless-card.

I've been through this before in the older distros, so please don't lecture me with the newbish old "You need to go to System>Preferences>Hardware Drivers"-tutorial.
Yes, I've been through that.
Also, I tried installing the madwifi-tools package which seems to be (re?)moved.

ifconfig only gives me the internal loopback- and ethernet-interface.

Any ideas? ... HALP~ ;_;

I'm having the same problem on my HP Mini. It doesn't show my wsireless network adapter in 9.10 but it did in 9.04.

Luckily I came prepared, I have Windows XP Pro installed on the other partition.
I guess I'm gonna have to live with it till' there comes a workaround.

I feel so fake~ ;_;
