no wifi on a DELL D610 laptop with 2.6.24-21 kernel

[kris969]

I was unable to use my wifi device on my laptop, since the last update to the 2.6.24-21 kernel.
I roll back to the previous 2.6.24-20 kernel version and it works fine again.

This bug seems to be critical due to the possible major impact for all the Ubuntu users.

According to www.georgian.edu/uploadedFiles/spec_latit_d610_en.pdf this laptop uses the ipw2200, so this bug has already been reported.

If you have a Broadcom version of this laptop, then it can be unmarked as duplicate.

Sorry for all the traffic. OK, do you have the ipw2200 one? If so, it's a dupe of #260664. If you have the Broadcom, this is its own bug. Which is it? If you don't know, just post the output of "lspci"

here is the requested information

And if you run "lsmod | grep ipw" what is your output?

so you was right, it is already known ...
