Jaunty Real Time Kernel fails immediately

[Rich E]

Well it works, in any event, all but the wireless.  In debian I had to
install some packages for Intel PRO/Wireless
3945ABG<http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=25154&start=0&sid=21cc0ff880d0c729ba3d5942af4cd7d9>to
get it working.. but never encountered this problem in Ubuntu.  Anyone
know what package I need, or do I need to roll my own kernel like Luke´s,
but with other options?
