Comment 28 for bug 76489

Hi Baskar,

When you say "it doesn't work" do you mean that you don't get any network
interface at all with this card under 7.10 or 7.04? Or that you are
suffering from this specific bug? If you don't get any network interface at
all then thats a separate issue and you should check the ubuntu forums or
irc channels for help and maybe file a bug if you don't get anywhere.

If you mean that your getting this bug then upgrading to the
2.6.24-2-generic kernel or later should fix it, it fixed it for me! You can
get that kernel from the Hardy Heron development release, it is installable
on Gutsy (7.10) although care and knowledge of what your doing is required
in order to not break anything. Things you might encounter issues with when
upgrading manually to the Hardy development kernel are any proprietary
kernel modules and drivers, such as the Nvidia glx package and also
proprietary drivers for wireless etc. If your system is only using Free
software drivers then this will be much simpler.

2.6.24 kernel image package from Hardy Heron:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/base/linux-image-2.6.24-4-generic
