Comment 259 for bug 446146

Hey Portable-Jim

Where did you get those kernel versions from?

The official iso release of karmic was 2.6.31-14.48. The current
proposed' release is 2.6.31-15.50.

Try upgrading -- all should work with *-15.50.

I'm also on Vodaphone (aust) with a E169. Everything works with
'proposed kernel (*-15.50)

Cheers
Russell
