linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-27-686

[fadetoblack]

i recently upgraded the kernel through the auto updater to 2.6.15-27-686.. only problem is now my wireless card (ath0) does not seem to be detected. i've had this happen plenty of times before on previous kernel updates too, but i was able to fix it each time by installing linux-restricted-modules-{uname -r}. however, this time when i do sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-27-686 it doesn't find the package. is this package on some other repository or something? or where can i even download it manually? any help is appreciated. thanks

The package is in the 'restricted' repositories, so you might want to check that it is enabled.

Also, if you install 'linux-686' metapackage, the restricted-modules should be updated automatically when there's a new kernel version available (so you don't have to upgrade it explicitly)

Abort.

From this you can see that it finds the restricted modules for previous kernel versions, but not for 2.6.15-27-686. Also, I have the following repositories:

deb [url]http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/[/url] dapper main restricted
deb [url]http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/[/url] dapper-updates main restricted
deb [url]http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu[/url] dapper-security main

and a few others but I dont think they make a diff for this. Do I need some other repository? If yes, which one?

Thanks
