Wireless card stopped working immediately after upgrading 7.04 --> 7.10

[Adam M]

So I just upgraded linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-14-generic to version
2.6.22-14.37, and now I don't get those errors in /var/log/messages
about the acx driver. However, I still don't see an entry for the
wireless card in the 'Network Settings' applet.

Any idea what's wrong?

Thanks,
Adam
