Did you make sure that you used the same set-up options as the generic
kernel? If you've missed a module, or compiled something as a module
when it was built-in previously, this could break something.

Either that, or you are missing another patch for the wireless driver
that was included in the generic Ubuntu kernel.

Did you download the kernel source from kernel.org, or get it from the
Ubuntu repositories? If you didn't do the latter, this may be why
wireless isn't working, since you're not including the Ubuntu patches.

It can, but this isn't the problem in your case.

Hwyl,
Neil.
