[Bug 532451] Re: Intel WiMAX/WiFi Link 6050 series wireless does not work

[Chase Douglas]

** Changed in: linux-backports-modules-2.6.32 (Ubuntu Lucid)
       Status: Triaged => In Progress

** Description changed:

+ SRU Justification for Lucid for linux-backports-modules-2.6.32:
+ 
+ The change merely adds the 6050 iwlwifi firmware to the package. The
+ drivers already in the package should be sufficient to utilize the
+ firmware correctly. There is no regression potential because the file
+ did not exist before.

  Wireless Controller: Intel WiMAX/WiFi Link 6050 series (Kernel module
  iwlagn.ko)
  
  Intel wireless controller can be detected, driver is loaded, but
  clicking network manager shows no access point. Our office has at least
  2 APs as I can see them using other systems. Installing linux-backports-
  modules-karmic did not fix things, nor did installing the 2.6.33 kernel
  from the PPA. Once I've installed either the backports or the new
  kernel, there appears to be a missing microcode/firmware issue,
  specifically for "iwlwiki-6050-4.ucode".
  
  Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Boot the system
  2. Click network manager
  3. Look for available AP for wireless connection
  
  Expected result:
  Available APs are listed, select the best one to make connection.
  
  Actual result:
  No AP can be seen.
