[Bug 305005] [NEW] kernel upgrade broke wireless on eeepc

[Eythian]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-backports-modules-intrepid

With kernel 2.6.27-7, my eeePC 701 had wireless working just fine using
the backports modules. Now that I upgraded to 2.6.27-9, the wireless no
longer works. Needless to say, this is not a good thing.
