Comment 15 for bug 327431

Ok looking at the binary for linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24, we see the following:

    ubuntu/wireless/iwlwifi/
    ubuntu/wireless/iwlwifi/mac80211/
    ubuntu/wireless/iwlwifi/mac80211/compatible/
    ubuntu/wireless/iwlwifi/mac80211/compatible/net/
    ubuntu/wireless/iwlwifi/mac80211/compatible/net/mac80211/
    ubuntu/wireless/iwlwifi/mac80211/compatible/net/mac80211/iwlwifi_mac80211.ko
    ubuntu/wireless/iwlwifi/mac80211/compatible/net/mac80211/iwlwifi_rc80211_simple.
    ubuntu/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlwifi/
    ubuntu/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlwifi/compatible/
    ubuntu/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlwifi/compatible/iwl3945.ko
    ubuntu/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlwifi/compatible/iwl4965.ko

It appears we have a poor linkage internally between modules. Will prepare a test version of linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24 to see if this is the source of the issue.

Could you test the version of linux-ubuntu-modules from the URL below:

If this does not work could you collect lsmod output from the failing install and from any one of the mainline kernels which did work for you, and report them here.
