intel iwl3945 no longer works with 2.6.27-7-generic x86_64

Asked by KennyA

When I ran the Ubuntu Itrepid Ibex Live beta CD, my intel iwl3945 card worked fine. However, after I installed it and did an upgrade to kernel 2.6.27-7-generic x86_64, the card no longer works. When I check lsmod, the kernel modules show up:

iwl3945 112116 0
rfkill 19236 2 iwl3945
mac80211 253440 1 iwl3945
led_class 13192 1 iwl3945
cfg80211 37136 2 iwl3945,mac80211

However, when I do dmesg, this is what shows up:

[ 26.626080] iwl3945 0000:0c:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17

At this point, I can not use my wireless card because there doesn't seem to be microcode for it that the new kernel can see.

How about filing a bug report? It seems serious. And better do it fast that it could have a chance to be fixed in the final. We all hate regression...

Thanks, I thought I had sent this in as a bug report, didn't realize this was a QA forum at first.

I filed a bug report for this:
