Hello,

I have use a live CD of Kubuntu Karmic Koala Alpha 6 and the wireless works !!!

I attach the dmesg file where the lines related with the wifi are:

In my updated ubuntu from Jaunty to Karmic Koala Alpha6 do not appear this lines

[ 78.175907] iwlagn 0000:0c:00.0: loaded firmware version 8.24.2.12

It could be a problem of updating instead of doing a fresh install, some idea on how to fix it or how to see what's the problem before the final release?
