Hi,
I have a problem with modinfo, it can't seem to find the b43 kernel
module.
I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 and kernel 2.6.24-16-generic and modinfo b43 fails
with:
$ modinfo b43
modinfo: could not open b43: No such device
However if I use the full path it works fine:
$ modinfo /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/b43/b43.ko
filename:
/lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/b43/b43.ko

This isn't a major problem in itself as my wifi card still works i.e.
modprobe works fine, it just means that my Broadcom card doesn't show up
in jockey-gtk.
$ jockey-gtk --list --debug

One last thing, I upgraded to final from a Hardy Beta install.
Has anyone seen anything like this before?
Thanks,
Steve
