Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-firmware
My laptop(F-S AmiloA7600) has a WLAN-card in the PCMCIA-slot of type "Lucent/Agere 6.06" (as Firmware determined by orinoco_cs 1.0) or commercially named Lucent WaveLan.
I have tried both Ubuntu Karmic with the kernel 2.6.31-11 and Xubuntu Karmic with kernel 2.6.31-12. The WLAN doesn´t work, it doesn´t show any WLAN-networks as it should.
The hardware works fine with XUBUNTU Jaunty.
I think the reason is missing firmware agere_sta_fw.bin as reported in the attached kern.log. See the end of the log, lines starting with Eth1.
Yours
