Comment 5 for bug 250211

I installed the following packages in Ubuntu 8.04.1 running on a HP Pavilion dv6000 (dv6626us) and the wireless network connection stopped to work completely:

    linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic_2.6.27.1.1_i386.deb
    linux-image-2.6.27-1-generic_2.6.27-1.2_i386.deb
    linux-restricted-modules-2.6.27-1-generic_2.6.27-1.1_i386.deb

Do I need to install any other package to test kernel 2.6.27?
