Comment 4 for bug 67064

Has everybody here installed linux-generic like Ben asked for? In a Terminal window, type:
sudo apt-get install linux-generic
Then you can verify with:
dpkg -l linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-10-generic
and it should list it with "ii" at the beginning of the line.

Maybe the output of "iwconfig" would be interesting to have attached here.
