Following an install of 9.10 over 9.04 from a LiveCD Grub showed several kernel options, the most recent being 2.6.31-15-general. Booting with this kernel is successful:
$ uname -a
Linux rjslptp 2.6.31-15-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 10 14:54:29 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
When I checked in Synaptic to see what had actually been installed with respect to 'linux-images' only references to 2.6.31-14 are present.
How is this possible?
My wifi card which worked fine in 9.04 wasn't working:
$ lshw -C network

gave very few results compared to what I remember from previous installs.
In /lib/modules and /lib/firmware there were '2.6.31-14-generic' folders but none for '2.6.31-15-generic'.
Does this make sense?
Thanks for your assistance.
