Asked by Thomas Bandurski

Hardware: Notebook hp Pavilion dv5000 with Intel Centrino Duo.
Problem: The automatic update of ubuntu 8.04.2 downloaded and installed the kernel version 2.6.24-23-generic. Now the WLAN is not functional any more. However, the WLAN is available booting the previously installed kernel 2.6.24-22-generic.

if you are unable to get your wifi working with the new kernel, you can go back to the previous working kernel.

Can you help with this problem?
