The problem that I am facing with new kernel is that it is not
supporting the wireless devices.
My wireless card was working fine with the Base kernel that comes with
Ubuntu 8.04.

So when I took update it has also installed iwl wireless packages that
were installed with the latest kernel.
The option that you are saying also present on my machine.
But my wireless card don't work when I start my machine with the Base Kernel.

I would like to do all the software (including kernel) back porting.
How can I do that ?

Thanks for any help.
