[Bug 1255022] Re: Wireless networking unavailable/does not work

 

I started a kernel bisect between  3.2.0-55 and 3.2.0-56. The kernel
bisect will require testing of about 3-5 test kernels.

I built the first test kernel, up to the following commit:
c1bb8de6dfdd093200b069e927767e11253c6050

The test kernel can be downloaded from:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp1255022

Can you test that kernel and report back if it has the bug or not. I
will build the next test kernel based on your test results.

Thanks in advance

Title:
  Wireless networking unavailable/does not work

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After an upgrade to the linux-image-3.2.0-56-generic kernel on Ubuntu
  12.04.3 LTS, my laptop had no wifi. No lights, nothing in network
  manager to even acknowledge the existance of a wireless capability.

  On rebooting into the previous kernel linux-image-3.2.0-55-generic it
  works again (and thus I am able to report this!).
