Description Bjoern 2008-07-27 01:03:34 UTC

After the last update to linux 2.6.25.11-97.fc9.x86_64 my wlan device (iwl4965)
stoped working. With linux 2.6.25.10-86.fc9.x86_64 everyone works fine.

This happened to me and the problem was the PackageKit GUI failed to offer an
update for the iwl4965-firmware package (see bug 456807), so I didn't have the
right firmware available.
