Same experience with linux-restricted-modules-686 on a laptop that I 
only see here every couple of weeks. Had to switch to the nv driver. 
Found this untriaged bug in launchpad if you want to add your info to 
it:
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15/+bug/49977

There was also a problem in that package with starting the wireless due 
to a broken or missing link to /sbin/ipw3945, but I could figure out 
and fix that issue.  I'll see if I can get the details when that laptop 
comes back next week.
