Intel 2200BG Wireless NIC Support Gone

[darren]

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.24-21-generic

The update to 2.6.24-21.40 breaks my Intel 2200BG wireless. Can't believe this hasn't been reported yet.

lspci -vvv (from 2.6.24-20) :

01:02.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection (rev 05)
 Subsystem: Intel Corporation Dell Latitude D600
 Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B-
 Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR-
 Latency: 128 (750ns min, 6000ns max)
 Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 22
 Region 0: Memory at c0001000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]

I'll paste the output from 2.6.24-21 in a mo.

Thanks.

Nothing to do with lspci so ignore that, should have checked what was actually going wrong first.
