Update from 'proposed' removed my eth1 interface

[Ernst]

I'm running Intrepid. Yesterday, I installed the linux-backports-modules-intrepid package. After that, I was not able to connect to wireless networks.
Today, I found this bugreport: [url]https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-backports-modules-2.6.27/+bug/287450[/url]
There was a bug in the package 'linux-backports-modules-intrepid' and the fix was in ubuntu-proposed. So, I enabled ubuntu-proposed and updated. After installing 123 packages and rebooting, my wireless interface eth1 disappeared:
- no wireless networks with NetworkManager
- system > administration > network tools do not show interface eth1
lspci shows:
[CODE]01:04.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2] Network Connection (rev 05)[/CODE]

Removing the packages by doing 'sudo apt-get remove linux-backports-modules-*' solved the problem (but I do not have the backported drivers available). Does anyone has a solution where the packages stay installed?

This is not a bug in the linux-meta package, moving to the linux-backports-* package.

Hi Ernst,

Sorry for the delay in responding to your bug here. Can you comment if this is still an issue for you?

[Ernst (ernst-blaauw)]

Of course :-). I'm not using that notebook anymore, so it's not an issue for me anymore. However, I don;t know if the bug is solved.

Thanks for the feedback. Since you are the original bug reporter and unfortunately since you no longer have access to the hardware, I'm going to close this bug for now as it would be problematic confirming a fix with no hardware to test with. If anyone else has this same hardware and confirm the issue remains, please feel free to reopen this bug by setting the status back to New. Also, please continue to report any future bugs that you may find, we really do appreciate it. Thanks.
