Bug Description

Installed most recent batch of upgrades last night and this morning, and after the advised reboot the Linksys Wireless adapter activates, but the picks up no wi-fi locations. Even a manual setting up does not correct this problem. Attempted connecting from a distance of 2 feet from the router. Once the router would appear it would ask for a WEP Passphrase instead of the required WEP Hex Key.

Also attempted wireless with a Linksys WUSB11 ver 2.6, and encountered similar issues. Only with it I was able to see the wireless access points, but again could not access them.

Found problem, updates seem to have disabled/removed the restricted-drivers without notifying the end-user it had done so. Was able to reconnect after re-downloading/enabling the restricted drivers.
