This doesn't look so good, but its only a warning:

  * Really update to wireless-testing master-2008-10-31
    Somehow either git failed me, or it was pilot error,
    but the last upload wasn't master-2008-10-31. This also
    includes the b44 driver.

Tim, sorry to hijack the bug but it's somewhat related.
Please take a look at this bug: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/286285
Patch at http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1812
The bug eats all the disk space with log messages.

2.6.27-7.6 accepted into intrepid-proposed, please test.

iwl3945 does not connect to wireless networks with 2.6.27-7.6, while it does so with 2.6.27-7.4.

Adding to what Martin above just said.
The message in syslog is: iwl3945: Unknown symbol lbm_cw_print_ssid

lbm needs the patch from Bug 286285 for iwlagn too.

My apologies, I filed bug #297390 before seeing this tracker bug.

In a nutshell, the ieee80211_crypt_{tkip|wep|ccmp} modules are get inserted into the kernel, but the lbm_cw_ieee80211_crypt_{tkip|wep|ccmp} modules should be inserted instead. The result is that encrypted networking will no longer function.

linux-backports-modules 2.6.27-11.11 breaks my wireless connections. I'm using the iwl3945 driver. Downgrading to 2.6.27-11.10 fixed the problem. In /var/log/debug I get a log of connection attempts which report deauthentication reason 7, over and over until it quits trying:

...

Can I propose that we roll back the version to -11.10 and then stop updating the drivers in intrepid? It is much better to accept that certain models just won't work than to break machines where it worked before.

Alternatively, newer versions could be provided in a PPA.

@pablomme - Before I roll back can you try the linux-backports-modules-2.6.27_2.6.27-11.12 in my PPA at http://ppa.launchpad.net/timg-tpi/ubuntu. the i3945 driver is undergoing some upstream work and I may have just updated from wireless-testing at a bad time.

It might take a bit. I've got to first build a -11 kernel before the LBM package will build.

rt73usb still fails to load with the usual reasons (Bug #283759 and others). Manual installs of compat-wireless 2008-12-21 and 2009-01-10 work fine.

@Tim - the -11.12 backports allow authentication, but the connection won't work. In dmesg I get:

...

Works fine without linux-backports-modules, I'm using an Intel 3945 WiFi chipset with iwl3945 driver on Ubuntu 8.10 up-to-date with -proposed repos enabled.

I have the same problem. Same errors. It seems to go away when I remove the backports-modules package. When I googled, it saw that Ubuntu isn't the only distribution that has this problem. A fix was sent upstream, and is present in the latest compat-wireless.

I will try to build the new compat-wireless and see if it fixes things when I have some spare time.

This reverts to the version in -11.10 to fix the regression.
