Comment 171 for bug 226279

Richard Coates, thanks for the tip. Having said this, I chose Ubuntu largely because I had hoped to avoid "googling my chipset" and other "convoluted processes" just to restore my network work after a kernel upgrade. I'm not a software engineer, just a home user hoping for a secure and stable alternative to Windows. I would be happy to try anything within reason, but I would really appreciate detailed, reproducible instructions. Thanks in advance for your help.
