Hello,
I have a Toshiba satellite_A135-S4677, and after the last update wireless stopped working (it seems to detect the card just fine but won't see any wireless networks). Ethernet works fine. And if I run the previous kernel (2.6.24-19) wireless works fine.
I've never compiled the kernel or have much of an idea on how it works, so any pointers would be nice.
Also I wanted to leave notice for other users that might encounter the same problem.
I got a clue that it might be the kernel by looking at the system log:
Process:kernel

any suggestions on how to fix it? (besides waiting for the next kernel to see if it's fixed). Where and how should I post this as a bug?
