sound and wireless not working, hardy (2.6.24-17)

[Gokul]

After upgrading to hardy (8.04), sound and wireless have stopped working on my ibm thinkpad laptop. The issue is on both 2.6.24-16 & 2.6.24-17 kernel versions but switching to 2.6.22 fixes it.

uname -r
2.6.24-17-generic

lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 8.04
Release: 8.04

Attached are logs from the following commands:

dmesg
lspci -vvnn
lsmod
dpkg -l
modprobe -l

No luck after upgrading to the new '2.6.24-18-generic' kernel version either. Please help.

Hi Gokul,

You reported this bug a while ago and it hasn't had any recent activity. Care to confirm this is still an issue with the latest Alpha for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 as it is actively being developed. You should be able to test via a LiveCD - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing. Please let us know your results. If the issue still exists, per the kernel team's bug policy, can you please attach the following updated information. Please be sure to attach each file as a separate attachment.

* cat /proc/version_signature > version.log
* dmesg > dmesg.log

Additionally, it seems this report should have been made against the 'linux' kernel package (at least based on the wireless driver you are using). I'm going to go ahead and retarget this against the 'linux' package. It's best if bug reports target one specific issue - so lets focus on the wireless issue first. Thanks.

Thanks for the response. I'll go ahead and just close this bug. Thanks.
