Comment 114 for bug 121439

I have Dell Latitude D820, and since upgrading to Gutsy from Feisty, I couldn't even see the wireless network card under "System > Administration > Network". (it also could not find the ipw3945 driver by modinfo ipw3945)

As it turns out - I was always selecting the 386 kernel from the Grub boot menu. Now I tried the Generic (!) kernel, and the wireless connection works! It shows the available connections and I could connect to an unsecured network. The generic kernel is also mentioned at the original bug report of this thread.
