    kernel activation of wireless card after update [solved]

    I solved this problem, after a lot of efforts, and through a hint from the #debian channel, where I posted the question too:

    Here is what I did:
    It was a problem of drivers for the wifi card.
    I downloaded the package from madwifi website, and then installed manually the modules in the kernel with the instructions written in the madwifi INSTALL file.

    I also added, at boot, in grub (in /boot/grub/menu.lst), the following message to kernel  "pci=biosirq".

    Now it works :-)

    ===
    My laptop (Packard Bell Easy Note R1983.

    Wireless works under windows (wakheos card).
    But no wireless appears with several linuxes I tried (kubuntu and debian testing, yesterdays's versions).
    Now I'm back to Kubuntu! Installed with LAN and upgraded to a 686 kernel.
    Battery and wireless were not recognized.
    So, I googled and added acpi=force to kernel messages. And battery worked.
    Then, I tried between pci=noacpi, pci=routeirq, that appeared in dmesg.
    Sometime, the usb is not recognized (with acpi=off)
    One time, the wireless worked! (with pci=routeirq, I believe). Immediatly, I updated (adept), then, reboot, and then no way to get the wireless back. Battery and usb key are reconized.
    It's apparently the same with the 386 kernel.

    How to get the wireless working??

    I believe it's just an affair of putting the right message to kernel at boot?

    Thanks all!

    See hereafter dmesg:
