[Bug 205397] Re: wireless card not workng hardy

[SFN]

I'm experiencing an issue that, while not identical, appears to be close
enough to be the same issue.

My wireless card was working Gutsy but doesn't in Hardy. The lights
never come on on mine though. Same for Bluetooth but I'm concerned about
that. I've got an Acer TravelMate 8210-6245.

Like Cody's situation, the restricted driver manager also only shows my
graphics driver.

"lshw -class network" provides the following info (MAC address
obfuscated by me):
