** Description changed: Binary package hint: linux-firmware I am totally confused by the volume of reports I have read about this particular WIFI firmware problem. So I am reporting my problem here. I have using 10.10 beta on my new Sony Vaio VPCF136FM configured as follows: Processor: i7-740QM / 1.73 GHz Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 425M GPU WIFI: Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250 AGN Display: 16.4" / 1600 x 900 Memory: 6 GB The driver is being loaded, I can make un-encrypted connections to my wireless router. I am not able to make encrypted WIFI connections to my wireless router because the driver firmware is not loading (I get a boot-up error message stating that no suitable firmware was found). However, the firmware module is present in /lib/firmware (although the execute file permission is set - not good - I removed it). I poked around the kernel configuration file and see what appear to be firmware flags informing the kernel of other firmware versions, but not one for the firmware for this card (firmware is also available from Intel in iwlwifi-6050-ucode-9.201.4.1.tgz). I don't know how to append an apport-collect to this until a bug report number is issued. I have read in other reports that there seemed to be an interaction between an NVIDIA driver and the loading of WIFI firmware. I have already reported a bug against 10.10 beta for NVIDIA driver problems on my system (bug confirmed). Please see bug report #655078. This bug report already provided a complete apport-collect report for my system. Maybe there is an interaction that can be determined in my system reports. --- Architecture: i386 Dependencies: DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Beta i386 (20100901.1) NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: linux-firmware 1.38 PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: LANG=en_US.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-22.33-generic-pae 2.6.35.4 Tags: maverick Uname: Linux 2.6.35-22-generic-pae i686 UserGroups: adm admin cdrom dialout lpadmin plugdev sambashare + + --- + Architecture: i386 + Dependencies: + + DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 + EcryptfsInUse: Yes + InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Beta i386 (20100901.1) + NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia + Package: linux-firmware 1.38 + PackageArchitecture: all + ProcEnviron: + PATH=(custom, no user) + LANG=en_US.utf8 + SHELL=/bin/bash + ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-22.33-generic-pae 2.6.35.4 + Tags: maverick + Uname: Linux 2.6.35-22-generic-pae i686 + UserGroups:
