Allow me to reconfirm on an older Compaq Presario 2100: Network controller: Intersil Corporation Prism 2.5 Wavelan chipset (rev 01)
$ sudo modprobe -r orinoco_pci $ sudo modprobe -r hostap_pci $ sudo modprobe -r prism2_pci $ sudo modprobe orinoco_pci Works like a charm after this in edgy. The blackilist works too. Perhaps the details of lshw could be used to check whether the prism2_pci diver should be used. Note that with the prism2_pci driver the output of lshw does NOT have a "serial" field. With the orinoco_pci driver it does. -- Orinoco_pci affected by re-enabled prism2 drivers https://launchpad.net/bugs/63989 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
