Dear Brian, Thank you very much for your answer. I knew about the linux-restricted-modules package, it's why I was so frustrated of that bug, I could "apt-get" all my system needs (apache, php, eclipse, emacs, xxdiff... a few stuffs) using the wireless connection, then the automatic updates broke it all.
except that networking problem, my screen was starting to flash a little, specially when turning to the screensaver, so I remembered a package that helped me under ubuntu 6.06: apt-get install nvidia-glx-dev after that I was prompted on the top of the screen by a message concerning the restricted modules, warned me that the configuration was manually modified, and so the automatic features would be disabled... last night I switched off my laptop, switched on this morning and tadaaaaaa the wifi is back.... in case that could help fixing these restricted modules system, here is the questions you asked: 1. uname -a Linux mekhong 2.6.20-13-generic #2 SMP Sun Mar 25 00:21:25 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux (my laptop is a dell d820 with a dual centrino 2ghz , 2go ram) 2. & 3. are attached so in fact, I'm in heaven now, everything works smoth as silk, all my web developper workspace is ok, I can listen to my mp3's, watch a divx movie when I get bored working, of course all the open office, firefox, thunderbird works perfectly, I love ubuntu. kind regards julien >From: Brian Murray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: Bug 96295 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: [Bug 96295] Re: wireless card not recognised after system upgrades >Date: Tue, 27 Mar 2007 20:12:18 -0000 > >Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu >better.
