No wireless connection

[T J Schemkes]

I am running Ubuntu 8.10 and I can not make a wireless connection with my router.
My network and my neighbours are visible under the network-applet.
When I look in the syslog, a lot of records give me the idea there are many faults.
Just at the begin of the syslog you find: "Cannot find map file".
The file: System.map-2.6.27-7-generic is present in /boot map.
I think that this is the start of my WLAN problem.
Can I fix it myself or have I to wait for a update?
I have the syslog attached.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it without more information.
Please include the following additional information, if you have not already done so (pay attention to lspci's additional options), as required by the Ubuntu Kernel Team:

1. Please include the output of the command "uname -a" in your next response. It should be one, long line of text which includes the exact kernel version you're running, as well as the CPU architecture.
2. Please run the command "dmesg > dmesg.log" after a fresh boot and attach the resulting file "dmesg.log" to this bug report.
3. Please run the command "sudo lspci -vnvn > lspci-vnvn.log" and attach the resulting file "lspci-vnvn.log" to this bug report.

For your reference, the full description of procedures for kernel-related bug reports is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies Thanks in advance!

Thanks Ted

for your reaction.
After reporting my problem on this site I have experimented with software downloaded from
http://git.bu3sch.de/git/b43-tools.git to fix my problem.
Although I was strongly warned, I have changed the hardware PCI Product Id 14e4-4320 in 14e4-14e4.
You may guess the result.
After reboot: no recognition of the PCI Mini WLAN Card.
No creation of the file /sys/devices/pci0000:00/...../ssb_sprom.
No recognition in Windows XP. (I have a dual boot laptop).
Without the file ssb_sprom you can do nothing.
I work now with cable connection.
Is it possible to change the Product Id back to 14e4-4320?

My problem is solved now.
I have bought a new PCI Mini WLAN Card.
A Harris/Intersil PRISM 802.11g Wireless Adapter.
It works perfect. No problems.
So this item can be closed.
