Hi,
I just upgraded from Warty to Hoary on my laptop. It went alright,
except I lost the wireless interface along the way. Does anybody know
what I'm supposed to do to get it back? Here's the data I have:
adele at Marlon:/etc/network $ lspci
0000:02:02.0 Network controller: Intel Corp. PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B
Mini PCI Adapter (rev 04)
adele at Marlon:/etc/network $ lsmod | grep 2100
ipw2100 98788 0
firmware_class 10016 1 ipw2100
ieee80211 23524 1 ipw2100
adele at Marlon:/etc/network $ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
sit0 no wireless extensions.
The config file is still the same as in Warty:
adele at Marlon:/etc/network $ cat interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
# wireless-* options are implemented by the wireless-tools package
iface eth0 inet dhcp
name Ethernet LAN card
iface eth1 inet dhcp
name Wireless LAN card
wireless_essid ****my_network_ssid****
wireless_key ****my_key****
#auto eth1
The wireless interface used to be called eth1 on Warty, but of course
here there is no such interface:
adele at Marlon:/etc/network $ sudo ifup eth1
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device eth1 ; No such device.
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :

There was a post from Don Jenkins 2 weeks ago with a similar problem,
but no solution that I could find. Thanks for any suggestions,
Florence
