ipw1100 and ipw2200. Go to Synaptic, and see in the linux-image
properties. All is in there. 

Incredibly, someone has shown me that there :
http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/base/linux-image-2.6.15-23-386

on the package list :
"Download linux-image-2.6.15-23-386
Download for all available architectures Architecture
Files	Package Size	Installed Size i386 	[list of
files] 	21099.4 	60604"

precisely when you click on '[list of files]' you get no information :
http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?searchmode=filelist&word=linux-image-2.6.15-23-386&version=dapper&arch=i386

the result is the same for the three or four following linux-image
packages. I don't check them all : I have a RTC connexion, and theses
pages are slow to display.

Any other package, to compare :
Xorg for i386, ie :
http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/x11/xserver-xorg

list of files :
http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?searchmode=filelist&word=xserver-xorg&version=dapper&arch=i386

"usr/X11R6/bin/X	
usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg/changelog.Debian.gz 
usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg/copyright"

Best greetings, J.M
