What happened to the ADM8211 module in the 2.6.22 kernel

Asked by Troy Roberts

Hello All,

I have just updated my laptop to Gutsy and the wireless card does not work under the 2.6.22-13-generic kernel. I can not find the ADM8211 module that my wifi card needs. Is there a newer driver I should be using? Or has this driver just been dropped.

Thanks,
Troy Roberts

OK, this is what I have found. The 2.6.22 kernel has a new wireless stack and all the wireless drivers have not been updated yet. It appears the ADM8211 is targeted for 2.6.24, which probably won't be released until the Christmas or so... I will just an older kernel for now.

Thanks.
